Could This Be The New Norm?
Interstate 80 going over the Sierras from Sacramento to Reno has been shutdown since about 5am this morning because of a Tesla Semi Truck fire that evidently has mushroomed into a hazardous waste crisis and isn't expected to open until 8 am tomorrow morning.
Just wondering what our future holds for highway shut downs like this. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/el...ia/ar-AA1p3AyB |

That's crazy. I wonder where the helicopter footage is.

Re: Could This Be The New Norm?
Someone in a fire department a while back posted up some info regarding the fire fighting difference between a fuel powered car and an ev. As I remember it takes several thousand gallons more water and man hours to put the ev fire out. I would imagine those e semi trucks would be even more so. Tow companies are advised to store them well away from other vehicles or structures as well.
You know as much of a pia as evs can be, they will only get better with continued "real world" service to help work out the bugs. In my mind, they aren't fully practical just yet. I certainly would not park one in my garage or near my house or business yet.
