Life, death, and spontaneous combustion — here\'s why the debate about Tesla fires just got more fierce

There was another fire in Tesla.
Tesla Model S was sitting in a parking lot.
Like in previous fire cases, the car was not only affected but was not charged.
No one was hurt, thank God.
The company is investigating the matter.
In Tesla\'s world, the fire has become a battleground for the company\'s supporters and critics.
Supporters blame the media for creating too much at times.
They point to burning-
In the absence of any attention, the engine fire has been happening.
De vandals accuse the company of the cause of the fire and why even if a car doesn\'t seem to be affected at all, there are times when there is a fire.
The debate has become so heated that CEO Elon Musk has joined the debate, and he is on Twitter hoping to get rid of any idea that electric cars are more dangerous than cars with internal combustion engines.
Chris Brown of Aristides Capital tweeted in monikerand, who is short Tesla, who came from (
The latest available data is 2015).
Brown broke it like this: Unfortunately, this is not what has happened.
Last month, in Davey, Florida, a man died after Tesla crashed into a tree and lit it.
The first responder was unable to open the retractable door handle of the car.
In December, after her car was on fire in a crash, she was ready.
In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a Tesla Model S crashed into a wall and died after the battery caught fire. there\'s .
Business Insider counts at least 20 Teslas fires since 2013 and 5 deaths in the past 14 months.
This is part of the reason these fires cause so much attention.
It\'s life, death, and math.
Tesla objected to the calculation, saying that no matter whether the car was on fire or not, the passengers of the cars would die when the car crashed.
\"The calculations quoted by Business Insider are highly misleading, as this means that every death quoted is caused by a fire --
Casualties caused by most traffic accidents
Even the person who crashed the fire.
Due to influence-
A Tesla representative said: \"The original crash caused related injuries . \".
\"According to the evidence, in every case we know involving Tesla cars, passengers will die regardless of whether the collision causes a fire or not.
This analysis is also flawed because it compares our powerful performance vehicles with buses, motorcycles and trucks included in the US vehicle registration data.
\"Most of Tesla\'s fires seem to be caused by some kind of trauma to the battery of an electric vehicle, sometimes by high-speed collisions.
In the Davie incident, the driver traveled 75 miles to 90 miles/hour on a 50-mile/hour roadSpeed limit.
Two teenagers died in Fort Lauderdale at 116 miles per hour.
\"Whether it\'s a Tesla fire, or a BMW or Fisk fire, if you look at the fire, almost every one runs outside of the institutional test parameters,\" automatically
Out of danger and fire
Rescue Senior Business Insider by phone.
\"They walked too fast and finally collapsed.
\"But there have been some fires, like those in Shanghai, and the battery doesn\'t seem to be damaged.
These fires are also very strange for those who focus on preparing electricity.
Vehicle revolution.
\"There are only a few real reasons for lithium --
The ion battery is on fire . \"
\"Liquid, dead short\", or, \"spontaneous combustion\" for each of the billion batteries \".
\"Each Tesla battery consists of thousands of batteries that are configured as modules that make up the battery pack.
So while one of every billion batteries sounds a lot like that, consider Tesla\'s gigabit battery plan to produce 3 million batteries a day, as well. He wants more.
The arrival of lithium-
Ion batteries on the road are a unique challenge for rescue experts who have stepped up their efforts to teach first responders around the world best practices against lithiumion-battery fires.
What we need to pay attention to is that Archer said that in the entire automotive industry, electric vehicles have a slightly lower fire rate than internal combustion engines --
The price of hybrid cars is much lower because of their high
Smaller voltage battery-
He said putting out electric car fires is no more difficult than putting out internal firescombustion-
For those who know what they are doing, the engine is on fire.
We should also note that he is a firefighter.
Battery damage-
Whether the damage is caused by some kind of impact, water damage or a manufacturing defect --
Can enter \"heat out of control.
\"This is when the temperature in the cell rises rapidly, and then the same reaction is triggered in another cell and in another cell.
This is called \"cellular propagation\" and in some cases it can stop spreading inside the battery.
In other cases, however, your hands are on fire.
Firefighters spread through the first responders and were unable to remove lithiumion-
Battery fire caused by foam or dry chemicals.
These fires are not available except for 500 to 8,000 gallons of water and patience.
The answerer should expect a longer commitment time for the battle than when it burns --
The engine is on fire and they should be aware that the fire may be reignited a few days after it seems to be under control.
This is another strange incident on December in Los Gatos, California.
The owner of a 2018 Tesla Model S got a flat tire on the highway and traveled about 1,200 miles on the odometer.
When the owner is in the repair shop, about 2. m.
The car was suddenly lit and the firefighters were called.
They put out the fire with about 2,000 gallons of water.
At about 10, the car was reignited in the store. m. (
That\'s why experts say that any electric vehicle that has experienced a battery fire should be 50 feet away from any object in a few days. )
Police reports obtained by Business Insider could not determine the cause of the Los Gatos fire.
Archer said that fire sources are often damaged so that it is impossible to say what caused the battery to get out of control
Whether it is triggered by something outside the battery or a defect inside the battery.
To be fair, Tesla is not the only company to deal with fixed cars on fire.
Millions of cars with defective PCV valve heaters and blower motor system connectors are sometimes reignited after being put out for a few days after the parked BMW vehicle starts a mysterious fire.
\"At BMW, customer safety is the top priority,\" said BMW spokesman Hector Arellano . \"
Belloc said in a statement after the recall was announced.
\"We understand the seriousness of the vehicle fire, which is why we are taking appropriate measures to repair the customer\'s vehicle.
Archer stressed that many external factors may lead to electric-
The vehicle is on fire, such as damage to the battery or the charging status of the car.
Most incidents occur when the car is fully charged or charged, he said.
Since a single defective battery can cause heat to get out of control, it is also important to make a fault.
That\'s why the last September oil spill on the Panasonic operation side of Tesla\'s Geely plant left the plant in chaos.
According to the internal documents viewed by Business Insider, the leak was discovered on September 17, but it is not clear when it will start.
Mechanical oil enters a large machine in Panasonic that is used to press battery chemicals on a piece of paper.
The machine then pollutes any product it touches.
Employees must stop what they are doing and sift through millions of almost finished batteries to find products that may be affected, the source said.
They searched for cells that could be traced back to September 11.
Not all events are so dramatic, though.
The source also reported incidents in which tools or scissors fell into large scale. foot-
High mixer for stirring lithium and other chemicals.
Greg Hilles, technical director of battery manufacturing and characterizing user facilities at the University of Michigan Energy Institute, told Business Insider if a piece of shrapnel-
Something as small as mm or half mm.
Entering the lithium mixture, the battery may cause a hard short or even a fire.
\"It\'s terrible,\" he said . \"
\"If you have something metal in your mixer and it grinds around in your mixer tank, you get shrapnel.
\"A representative of Tesla said that once the battery was received from Panasonic, the company tested the battery many times and the battery that was not cut was sent back to Panasonic.
\"Tesla cars have the lowest probability of injury in any vehicle tested in the United States. S. government [NCAP]
In a statement to Business Insider, Tesla said, \"according to our fleet of more than 500,000 electric vehicles, we know, tesla cars are about 10 times less likely to have a fire than petrol vehicles.
