‘No one was driving the car’: 2 men dead after fiery Tesla crash in Spring, officials say
Herman said authorities believe no one else was in the car and that it burst into flames immediately. He said it he believes it wasn’t being driven by a human.Harris County Constable Precinct 4 deputies said the vehicle was traveling at a high speed when it failed to negotiate a cul-de-sac turn, ran off the road and hit the tree.KPRC 2 reporter Deven Clarke spoke to one man’s brother-in-law who said he was taking the car out for a spin with his best friend, so there were just two in the vehicle.The owner, he said, backed out of the driveway, and then may have hopped in the back seat only to crash a few hundred yards down the road. He said the owner was found in the back seat upright.The brother-in-law of one of the victims said relatives watched the car burn for four hours as authorities tried to tap out the flames.Authorities said they used 32,000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames because the vehicle’s batteries kept reigniting. At one point, Herman said, deputies had to call Tesla to ask them how to put out the fire in the battery.

The advice is “you don’t.” Look at the firefighting section in the manual:

FIREFIGHTINGUSE WATER TO FIGHT A HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY FIRE. If the battery catches fire, is exposed to high heat, or is generating heat orgases, use large amounts of water to cool the battery. It can take approximately 3,000 gallons (11,356 liters) of water, applied directly to the battery, to fully extinguish and cool down a battery fire; always establish or request an additional water supply. If water is not immediately available, use dry chemicals, CO2, foam, or another typical fire-extinguishing agent to fight the fire until water is available.Apply water directly to the battery. If safety permits, lift or tilt the vehicle for more direct access to the battery. Apply water inside the battery ONLY if a natural opening (such as a vent or opening from a collision) already exists. Do not open the battery for the purpose of cooling it.Extinguish small fires that do not involve the high voltage battery using typical vehicle firefighting procedures

The War on Cars podcast did a blow-by-blow breakdown of that terrible gushing news segment on the tunnel. While Twitter might offer better zings, it was still good for a deep dive on exactly how dumb and overhyped this thing is.

He should dig an emergency failsafe tunnel that runs parallel to the first one. And then a third one as well, just to be safe. And then more and more until he's hollowed out the earth and we get a giant one of these:

It is actually not hard to think that the success of Tesla (which has to do with a lot of people not named Elon Musk in addition to Elon Musk) is a very good thing for the environment and the future while also think that Elon Musk, the person himself, seems like a big asshole, I don't see why this is supposed to set up some kind of Captain-Kirk-destroying-the-computer logical doom loop

I still find it incredible that apparently a Tesla's back doors can't be easily opened if the power is cut off. Or, one presumes, if the power is off and the car is on fire.

Elon Musk is one of the biggest obstacles to the acceptance of a post-personal-car world, which is what we really need more than anything. Don't think he gives a shit about climate change, electric cars are just the new thing, if this were the 30s he'd be selling asbestos and CFCs.
