Smaller disaster than East Palestine Ohio.

But maybe the same earth-friendly chemicals.


No emissions.

Holy crap, and we thought the Pinto was bad.

I didn’t realize that was a possibility.

It's acidic and very toxic. I'd like to ask if the battery case, or dash board , or tires was built by petroleum/oil. How about 5-6 miles of electrical wires in the car also?

I researched the story and read that those explosions were cylinders of fuel like butane or something and it was from 2013.

Fake news. It was a truck carrying propane tanks in Russia 10 years ago.

Holy shite, you got multiple explosions, flaming tires rolling down the road, fireballs shooting into the woods, I'll wait some before I get an EV.

Firefighters have to carry more than water now because of these things.

This is why I hate social media. Any slapdick can post anything and have people believe it if it supports their worldview.

Other than the old video, I stand firm in not being forced by government to only drive an EV.

Is that a problem?

That's explosive. No wonder Elon wants to get paid right now!!

In May 2022, firefighters needed more than three hours and 40,000 gallons of water to extinguish a Lincoln Aviator hybrid after it caught fire on a ramp to the Clara Barton Parkway in Cabin John.


Fire Blankets Are The Answer!!

That’s what I call venting some batteries.

Vet your stuff, OP, especially if it comes from Twitter.

Yesterday the Twitterati said that the US Navy was responding to Russia off the coast of Miami with a B-2 bomber.

What does your stance have to do with a fake video lying about electric cars exploding?

No Joke. Also, those drones dropping ordinance in the Ukraine/Russia war are dropping the wrong payloads. Used cell phone batteries are the new grenades... lol.
