Things to love about EVs: 1. Child battery labor 2. Range anxiety 3. Risk of garage fires 4. Paying 20k more than a comparable vehicle 5. Battery degredation 6. Poor resale value 7. Reduced performance in cold, highway 8. Higher repair costs 9. Awful charging network experiences in the weather without restrooms 10. Higher insurance rates 11. Replacing tires more frequently But hey theres a tax credit!

@@yellowsnowman9157 every single point you tried to make here is all BS and fictional. All lies told to you by the big oil companies. Child labor might be correct however, everything else you buy from overseas is made with child labor as well. I’m assuming you aren’t walking around naked are you? 85% of cotton is made in China and about 50% of that is made with slave and child labor. So I hope you never buy anything cotton. I’ve had a Tesla since 2013 and have never had “range anxiety” even though I drive over double the national average. Risk of garage fires is almost 100 times higher with gas vehicles, new teslas are no more then a comparable gas car and is even less with tax credits, battery degradation isn’t real either, my 2013 model S battery with 270k miles on it is still at 95% while the average gas car heads to the junk yard at 240k. Resale value is just as bad on new gas cars. Gas cars also perform worse in cold weather, I get about 25% less mileage in Wisconsin winter with my Tesla while my Acura MDX got about 23% less mileage. I can’t speak to repair cost as I have never needed a repair since 2013. My Acura needed a fairly minor repair that cost $6500 though. I’ve never had a bad charging experience in the 12 years I’ve been driving teslas in winter, summer or any other time. I’ve also never been to a charger without a bathroom within walking distance. My insurance on my model Y is $30/month more than my Acura insurance was… not a big increase considering I save $300 - $400 month in gas costs. In the 270k miles I’ve put on my model S, I’ve never had a set of tires that didn’t get the manufacturer’s estimated mileage. 50k tires get 50k miles. Same as every gas car I’ve driven. Maybe you should drive a Tesla (or at least talk to others who own them) and see what you are missing instead of helping the oil companies spread their lies.

Battery packs do not explde. They get extremely hot, and all material close to them catches fire. You were very lucky with the way the gas tank was ruptured. If gasoline reaches the rear brake there will be a fire, Gas tanks are a lot safer than in the past. Only the gasoline that gets out of the tank is capable of ignition. The safety vents have flame arrestors, so if the tank is heated by a fire , it will not explode but the saftey vent will look like a flamethrower.

That is the best approach I've seen, and also, is exactly how we dealt with battery pack fires at GF1.

In an ICE car there are hundred os rotating parts, (water pump, alternator crankshaft, transmission gears (now they have 10gears), and another bunch of reciprocating parts. ALL ev are safer than an ICE car. In an ICE car (most of them) the ICE, and the transmission are at the front.. Those two try to get inside the passenger compartment during a frontal crash. The ev has no such components at the front most have the air conditioning system. When was the last time you saw an ev on the side of the road waiting for towing? ICE cars break very often, they are not reliable transportastion. Even the ev tires are more robust. EV vehicles are not a scam. Scam is what the oil companies make you to believe. ICE car kill people by exposure to its fumes ( a lot worse in the past when lead was used), kill people in accidents (human drivers are terrible drivers). Making gasoline from dwell to finished gasoline is a high pollutant process, and very energy consumption. The real oprice of gasoline in the US is close to $12/gallon, but the trillion dollars the US fed government gives the oil industry makes the gasoline to look cheaper to customers (only billions are used in ev aids, a factor of 1,000 to one.

@mikeskidmore6754 ICE vehicles involved in fires are more often than not older models with lots of wear & minimal / poor maintenance, often during some sort of maintenance sparking the fire. They're generally not a big issue for responding FDs to put out, and quite often they don't even get called because they get put out with readily available hand held fire extinguishers before the fire can grow. A key point StacheD mentioned is frequency vs severity. As long as the Lithium Ion battery hasn't yet 'joined the party' the fire can be put out in similar fashion to an ICE veh fire, but once the battery goes into thermal runaway & starts off-gassing all bets are off.

As mentioned, the containers were not there before the fire. My understanding from people that work there is that they were moved into the area to create a fire block during the event and to isolate the damaged vehicles after, in the event that one (or more) reignited, and to ensure that the vehicles weren't accessed before they (Rivian and the fire marshalls) could investigate root cause.
