I wasn't going to but since you insisted...



"Normally a car fire you can put out with 500 to 1,000 gallons of water," Austin Fire Department Division Chief Thayer Smith said, per The Independent, "but Tesla's may take up to 30,000-40,000 gallons of water, maybe even more, to extinguish the battery pack once it starts burning"

Note that some of these Tesla fires are spontaneous, they are not charging at the time.

And my favorite part is that after the fire has been "extinguished", it can reignite again and again.

You might want to get your Tesla out of the garage and park it on the street....just not near my car please.
