Genuine question. I thought cars were engineered to be resistant to this?
It can’t just be as simple as holding a lighter next to it, right? What exactly are they using to achieve this?
Is this specific to Teslas? If not, why aren’t cars engineered to be resistant to whatever they’re using to light them on fire?
Furthermore, wouldn’t the protestors get caught? If not, then how are they evading all of this?
Just to be clear, I’m not fond of Musk. I’m just trying to understand the situation from both an engineering and social science perspective.
I saw sonething some years ago that the german firefighters use a container and fill it with water and drop the car in for a few days.
Right and I’m sure it would work but technically Tesla advises responders not to. Idk why or what their recommended alternative might be
I confirm. German firefighters once the fire is out, take the EV and put into a container full of water for about two days so all the energy is slowly going down.
