The Tesla Semi Fire Closed a Freeway for 15 Hours and Took 50,000 Gallons of Water to Put Out

Quick Summary:

Semi Sautéed An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board reveals that the fire that devoured a Tesla Semi after it crashed last month turned out to be way worse than we first thought.

There's no hard evidence that their lithium ion batteries result in fires any more than conventional cars do, but on the other hand, there's also no denying that when they do combust, their fires are far more formidable.

This incident shows the kind of inferno unleashed by the behemoth of a battery powering a full-blown Tesla Semi, which reportedly weighs around 11,000 pounds.
