I use to be a welder also and not even acetylene or propane torch could cut stainless steel, is either a grinder or arc rod with hot current can burn away stainless steel or plasma cutter
3 fire trucks can’t carry enough water to put out an electric vehicle fire. Common sense says speed was at least one factor as the literally bullet proof vehicle was pretty mangled.
There is a voluntarily recall with the accelerator pedal. The fix is literally permanently screwing the pedal onto it in the cheapest looking way imaginable. If it had slid partially off, it could’ve gotten stuck on the interior trim above. I don’t know what the speed limit was, but it’s possible that the driver was going the posted limit, realized he couldn’t slow down, panicked, then crashed.
@@gamerfan8445 If your car gets in a severe crash and gets mangled, it's unlikely that you'd be able to get out of it either. That's why firefighters need to pry people out of cars sometimes. The Tesla Cybertruck has manual door releases in the event of an emergency.
@ludicrousmodel3173 you actually have a chance of putting out the fire in an ice car. It's literally impossible to extinguisher a battery fire, it's gotta burn itself out
Lithium batteries dont just shutdown with water they ignite multiple times you have to pour sand and dirt on top of the lithium batteries so the fire stops
But there are several fire suppressants that can put out lithium battery fire and some fire departments are beginning to carry these (hopefully a trend that will spread nationwide as EV's become more common).
Some say it was the real Joe Biden. Rumor has it someone set the autopilot on 80 and then jumped out with old Joe strapped in. Now we're stuck with the Joe with no earlobes.
I actually live on some acres so I'm too far away to give a shit about what my neighbors are doing lol 😂 But you do you. If you wanna be snoopy go for it 💪🏼 more power to ya.
It's literally the first fiery crash. Literally 43 random Toyota Corolla fires happened all over the country today. Where is the reporting? Gas cars engulf in flames 50x more than electric vehicles do.
ICE vehicles burn 10X as often as BEVs and while ICE are easier to extinguish they are far more dangerous to passengers in a fire. Tesla makes by far the safest cars ever.
There's a video of a Chinese guy who gets on an elevator carrying his electric bike battery and just as the door closes the battery starts letting the smoke out and goes thermo nuclear cooking him in seconds. He looked like a burnt hotdog when they dragged him out. And that's a small battery pack!
Translated from the Wenxuecity news report.... "A man named Chen experienced a fire caused by the thermal runaway of a lithium battery from his electric vehicle. One early morning in 2021 October, his wife noticed the battery overheating, and he was informed, then decided to take it outside to cool down. However, as he took the battery into the elevator, it burst into smoke and exploded, engulfing it in flames. Despite being rescued and rushed to the hospital, Chen suffered severe burns, inhalation injury, and acute kidney injury. He also sustained burns to his left eye and later died at home in November 2021 (one month after the incident) from acute myocardial infarction."
@@SmoothLikeSilk stop trying to involve yourself and insert yourself because you lonely and want to feel little bit relevant no one cares not even now so you can continue being lonely
@@zigadabooga Yes they are but what fun is knowing that when we want to post crazy "batteries are going to kill us all" posts? Your facts are killing the mood.
Culvert, I fell asleep one night and basically bounced over a covert in my Chevy van. It didn't do any damage whatsoever to my van except alignment was toed out a little bit.
How they thought a stainess steel frame and bulet proof windows were a good idea for a car is beyond me. There's a reason cars have crumple zones and windows are made to break with one crack
Wow, Fisher Road is reasonably safe. The biggest problem it has is usually large trucks entering on the Beach City side which doesn't permit large trucks. The road is posted at 50 MPH but most people drive at 60-65 MPH.
First things first, Teslas have manual emergency door releases in the case of the power failing. Second of all, in a violent crash like this, most vehicles will be severely damaged and it's sometimes impossible for the drivers to escape without help from firefighters.
@@ludicrousmodel3173The emergency door releases are crappy. The ones in the back seat are under a cover tucked down in a hole. I'm sure someone's children will be able to work that out under duress. Look I'm not anti ev they have their place, but you and everyone else needs to stop d riding tesla. They have multiple flaws and safety concerns that need to be addressed, especially the truck.
Just look at the truck the person was obviously speeding and hit a cement wall. The fire was probably the least of his worries, most likely dead on impact.
It was about 4 a.m. and a tanker truck went off I-95 into ditch at the junction of Rt 8 in Bridgeport Ct. and caught fire. A state trooper and myself were the first on the scene. The truck was burning and the driver was hopelessly trapped. Screaming shoot me, shoot me.
If you spray Gasoline on a battery fire the gas will steal oxygen from the battery fire and stop thermal run away and then you can safely extinguish with water!
Way too much power, junk brakes and suspension, lithium batteries that are more dangerous than gasoline leads to this. My friend died in a Tesla when he hit a tree and instantly went up in flames. Ralph Nader time to come out of retirement!
@davefitzpatrick4841 clearly you don't know much about the cybertruck and it's design flaws, one of them is when the accelerator is applied the brakes do not work 🤔
My 20 year old, 317k mile Tundra had a recall once..airbag. This Tesla has/had 4!? Just replaced the original rear wheel cylinders today and rebuilt the rear brakes, it’ll fire up tomorrow and get me to work in the AM. I love my gasoline truck. 😊
Your comment has nothing to do with this post. Anyway, Toyotas are great - but they just had 100,000 motors recalled… More parts. More points of failure.
@@aguyfromnothere true. Toyotas are great gassers. The EV industry is still young and not as widely accepted and today’s Teslas prove they’re great daily drivers.
@@wra1th075 - it’s like saying you saw a white person at a Trump rally and wondering if it’s the same person.. There’s surely going to be a few different colors sprinkled in the rally.. but using that as a reference point isn’t really the best start…
@@wra1th075they do look ugly as hell, I seen a tan one and a grayish one on 35 going S. I always thought that people who buy these also buy those raptors cars 😂
They are hideous and ALL battery cars…..no, they are not electric, are the worst for the environment. People that buy these are truly liberal in thought…..killing the environment but sell it as a world saving devise lol. 🤣🤣
brother what do you expect to happen when you hit a concreate barricade going that fast with a massive battery. If you pretend speed isnt a factor then you're letting your own bias hang out like a nutsack, the battery didn't just malfunction and explode.
and probably those stupid electric doors that have a less than intuitive manual emergency release, and that first responders can't open from the outside. every car door handle should be able to open a door regardless of if the electrical systems are functioning or not. ...Hands down one of the most superfluous design concepts I have ever seen in my life.
Didn't Texas A&M recently do a study that determined current guardrails won't stop EV's? I know this was a concrete culvert but it sounds like more studies need to be done to conclude safe travel standards.
All their youtube video says is: Guardrails have undergone rigorous testing over the years, yet the technology needs to evolve as the vehicle fleet changes. Recently, Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and industry leaders convened for a groundbreaking crash test. In this test, our researchers subjected a Tesla Model 3 to a 62-mph impact at a 25-degree angle with a thrie beam guardrail system-the same conditions used for MASH crash testing. The impact ruptured the thrie beam rail and allowed the test vehicle to penetrate through the barrier. This result shows more research is needed to help us better understand and prepare for the growth of more EVs on our roadways.
Before you make comments like this, maybe you should develop some basic critical thinking skills. Gas cars are 60 times more likely to catch fire than electric vehicles. Any car would catch fire in a violent crash like this; however, the media is biased and loves to cover electric vehicle fires for some reason. The Cybertruck's design makes it safer than standard vehicles when it comes to occupant protection.
@@ludicrousmodel3173standard generic EVangelist response there. I’m surprised you didn’t add the usual, “my EV is amazing, I’ll never go back to ICE, it costs me 3cents a year to run”.😂
@@mikeolly67 you do know nearly all car now days are brake by wire? What if a power failure happens? Sorry if you will be too afraid to be in any modern cars now with that knowledge.
I've had my Tesla for a while now and no problems at all. Everybody wants to talk about the bad with Tesla's but ICE vehicles burst into flames as well. I feel bad for the victims tho 😢
Considering that ev vehicles are only 2 percent of vehicles on the road. And now account for the majority of fires makes your comment false. Let not even mention the environmental disaster that is EV's when they burst as well. ICE vehicles can be put out
First things first, Teslas have manual emergency door releases in case the power fails. Second of all, any mangled car would trap occupants inside after a violent crash. That's why the jaws of life exist.
Gasoline-powered vehicles also catch fire. Also, I hate to mess up your worldview, but battery-powered boats have been in use across the globe for over 120 years. Look out, SHARK! Hahahahahaha
That dude was probably going extremely fast to beat up the bulletproof truck to that degree from crashing. Pretty sure you would die in any vehicle crashing like that.
I agree. The EMF's generated by them affect your brain functioning the same as hypoxia and alcohol. Basically they are driving drunk. If they want to give themselves tumors and leukemia that's fine, but don't expose everyone else to it!
Originally, Buick drivers were claimed to be the worst drivers, then it used to be prius drivers were the most unpredictable drivers, now it is tesla drivers.
So you are ok with the 40,000 people that killed themselves in non Tesla vehicles in the last year? How about the 1.6 million people that didn't kill themselves, only mangled themselves over the last year in non Tesla vehicles? Askin' for a friend...
Okay, he needs to check his facts about those evs catching fire. I had a guy come into my care when I was working as a funeral director who was almost unidentifiable because his car also burst into flames when he crashed into pasture fence and into a field. I couldn’t even let his sister see him. My buddy works for Tesla building the cars as well and he said to never buy one. I avoid them on the road as best I can. They are ticking time bombs imo.
As someone who’s own three of them across 11 years you my friend are clueless. I’ve loved mine aside from the range which is false I typically get 20% less than stated but I go fast
@@blocktrain849 yeah okay, that’s why I had to tell a young woman her little brother died and she couldn’t see him because he was so badly burned. I literally know someone who works at the manufacturing company for Tesla who said that they are fire hazards waiting to happen. So keep believing the bs. It’s just your life you’re risking right? Maybe just keep a good distance between you and the normal cars-for your own safety of course….😂😂😂😂
That is a possibility, people have locked themselves in their tesla cars before, and of course they claim they didn't know how to operate their car properly.
99% chance it was just driver error/recklessness like almost every car accident. Steer by wire is safe. Like the other guy said, it has triple redundancy. Meaning if it fails, there's backup system to take over and make sure it's still working. And if the backup fails, there's another backup system to take over and keep it working.
Guy speaking at 1:30 apparently has NOT played around with Lithium batteries. Just like with gasoline, you learn from it. Try shooting a charged one before claiming they are safe when damaged, which will happen in accidents. It can be exciting. A liter of gasoline? Same treatment? = spilled/wasted gas, no fire.. no, I am not saying that gas fueled cars never burn in an accident. If they do, however, damaged electrics is probably frequently the source of ignition.
@@rickhammond2473This person is dead in a violent fiery car crash and you are like “oh but us shareholders made money off of him.” Genuinely not surprised tho
@@CB-dl7xk I never said that you did and I responded to another comment not the accident itself.Also if the driver was not driving like an idiot then he would be alive.
You are a monster that should be banned. :) It's like literally the first fire calm down. 7 of the Toyota Corollas you drive probably randomly blew up in a Taco Bell drive through while idle with their engine running.
driver was locked in there after the crash, all power went out, couldn't get out, automatic door lock, no door handles, no unlock knobs, that's tesla 🤷🤷♀️
Every car that I know of, Teslas included, have emergency mechanical door latches in case power cuts out. I wouldn't be surprised if they're required by regulations.
………… that was fixed ages ago & still only happened to a singular person on a drag strip track... Do you research a single thing that comes out of your mouth when talking about dead people or do you just want to take your next jab at an EV… people are low as shit
@ludicrousmodel3173 that's phucking hilarious troglodyte, 😂 clearly your comprehension is lacking and you just want to get on elons d!ck, break down the word(assume) phucktard.
I think I'll stick with my 20 year old Honda 169,000 mile CRV, enjoy the great performance and it only does what I tell it to do. Thank you for your great and professional report. Will definitely want to find out how this happened.
This is going to be a reoccurring theme with all electric cars. They accelerate too fast too quickly, they are too quiet for pedestrians/traffic to hear coming, they are way more prone to fires, they are way too heavy of vehicles in general. The Cybertruck also has angles on it instead of smooth curves, making a collision vs a pedestrian way more serious injury wise as well.
I thought this truck had smart technology that would have prevented it from hitting any obstacles or at least some safety features that would've prompted the vehicle to change course. How awful, condolences, and prayers to the family.
@@Mega-P71 true… it’s just prejudice. We drive Teslas in my house for years and we haven’t had even fenderbenders since. If you don’t pay attention or are impaired, you will crash
News channels and Telsa naysayers could NOT WAIT for the first person to die in a CT and report it burning to the ground to! Can you imagine the huge hardon they got from this???
a 2023 report from Sweden's Civil Contingency Agency (MSB) found that gasoline and diesel cars had an average of 3,384 fires per year out of 4.4 million vehicles, which is a fire rate of 1 in 1,300. This compares to an average of 16 electric and hybrid vehicle fires per year out of 611,000 vehicles, which is a risk of fire of 1 in 38,000
All Teslas have a manual door releases. All modern vehicles now have laminated windows in the front driver and passengers doors because NHTSA decided external factors are more important than internal. In other words, you can be hooped in most modern cars if you go underwater or catch on fire unless you have a seatbelt cutter and window punch or lucky enough to still be breathing when first responders arrive. Given the damage here, this person looked to be going over a 100mph and most likely did not even survive the impact.
Jeeps have a warning on the visor claiming the vehicle is susceptible to rollovers, Tesla should have to do the same for danger of battery fire resulting from collision. That way consumers know the dangers involved. Other than that, I believe in free market let the customers choose.
My cousin died in a gas powered car crash about a decade ago. She hit a concrete barrier and burst into flames. They couldn't identify her either initially. They apparently checked her dental records somehow to confirm the identity.
There is a voluntarily recall with the accelerator pedal. The fix is literally permanently screwing the pedal onto it in the cheapest looking way imaginable.

I don’t know what the speed limit was, but it’s possible that the driver was going the posted limit, realized he couldn’t slow down, panicked, then crashed.
Manufacturers need to start being held accountable for their vehicles going outrageous speeds on public roads. Obviously their customers are not capable of limiting themselves
This makes no sense, it's like if I drowned someone using the water from a water bottle because I didn't limit myself with the water, therefor the manufacturer of the bottle of water should be held liable...
Or let natural selection take its course. Unless you want to live in the world where all vehicles have GPS regulated speed limiters, kill switches, ignition tied to your social credit score, dystopian hellscape. Cause that's what society gravitates towards when you kowtow to the lowest amoungst us.
