Here's what happens when your Tesla Roadster (or any EV) reaches the end of battery life
There was a row of about 16 Fisker Karmas Plug-In Hybrids that were burnt to the ground because of being Flooded with saltwater.
The Battery is located right down the middle of the car and those things went up quick and they made the news while doing so.
One of the port masters said that Fisker wanted them covered up so no one could see them and they were pissed that they were in the news so heavily.
Between the Batteries and all the Magnesium parts the Fire Department wasn’t sure how to put them out, according to the port master, they were not of aware that they had to be put out with Foam and not water like they’re accustomed to.
I said all that, to say this, of all the Manufacturer’s Cars that were located at the port, and I’m talking over 10 thousand, Fisker was the only ones that caught on fire!
There were no Tesla’s at the port because they were not brought in by Ship at that time.
It was later discovered that they’re had been a recall on the batteries, because… they were known to just burst into flames for no reason.
The Port Master said when they were burning, the looked liked something out of a Science Fiction Movie.
They are now out of Business, which they only produced for 2 years 2011-2012.
I wonder what would be said today if this were to happen, would the Government just brush it aside like they did with the Train Derailment in Ohio and act like there’s nothing to see, even though they put more Toxin’s in the air in that one event than most do in a year!
