the fire was put out within an hour
How does that work? I thought that with electrical car battery fires, you basically just had to spray water to keep it cool until it was done with what it wanted to do.
Thats one option, but just because the battery caught fire doesn't mean the entire battery pack is going to catch fire.
There are fire walls in the battery, so if you get to it in time, you could cool it off and prevent a breach of the next firewall, and then the fire will be stopped when those existing cells use all their energy.
Within an hour doesn't seem unreasonable in that case if everything went right.
I'm so cold right now. I could use a cybertruck in the fireplace right now.
Foreshadowing
lol
I'm hoping the vehicle's onboard camera views are released. Teslas have many cameras, including one watching the interior. They are all stored in the vehicle and unless all online activity is disabled are uploaded to Tesla for training the fleet and investigating failures
Tesla almost certainly know who owns or owned the vehicle and has video of whoever most recently drove it, possibly including view into the cargo area which seems to have been filled with a fire bomb
