A new crash recently in Alabama, but a reminder to something that we all know. Burning Teslas are far more difficult to extinguish than any other car.

    I appreciate the note about the reaction here. Chemistry was my weakest subject back in school. So I’m sure I’m getting lots of details wrong, lol.

    But I’ve also watched what fire-departments are doing and read up on whitepapers / discussions on fire-department tactics. So while my chemical knowledge is probably terrible, I at least know what the fire-departments know and discuss.

      Yeah, I’ve been vaping for like 12 years now (including building my own devices) and have done a ton of research into battery safety and such, so I always try to correct misinformation on posts about battery fires.

      I’m sorry you keep getting downvoted because people don’t know what they’re talking about.
