@ai6yr OMG, that's horrible.
I hope the tree is okay.
@ai6yr Not again. Another fire impossible to put out...
@paul It's very frequent, based on my occasional searches to see if it's happened again. 😬
@ai6yr @paul
cars from China do not have battery formulations releasing oxygen to fuel such car fires like the US gets with Tesla vehicles
their Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries don't experience thermal runaway at 150° Celsius like American products (closer to 300C)
but guys like Musk don't care about 4 hour blowtorches-on-wheels design 🙄
@petabites @paul LFP definitely better.
@ai6yr bought a Tesla: caveat emptor
