Chris Gaines what a legend
That's interesting. Tesla says the cars shouldn't be submerged but I wonder if there's any serious consequence if you did?
If I had that thing on my face all night I'd cry too
I agree! I made a post on Boost's community because that's what I use currently
I've changed apps since then but Jerboa allowed you to hide the vote count so you couldn't see what everyone else voted for. It was interesting turning it on and off to see how I voted compared to the herd
Now imagine a house on fire with a tesla in the garage or multiple vehicle accidents. Now you need that much more
Speaking of fire trucks has anyone here ever read the emergency response procedures for teslas in severe accidents? When I was a volunteer we gave it a look over.
If I remember right, Depending on the model they recommend up to 8,000 gallons (~30k liters) to keep an overheating battery's temp stable in case of fire or exposure to high heat. I'll link the resource page here.
Our engine holds 700 gallons (5.2k liters) and the typical tanker in our area holds 2,000 (7.5k liters)
That's a house fire level response for a single electric vehicle. Just getting that much water moved to a scene would be challenging. We have tankers, but how many city departments can move that much water? You don't see hydrants on highways. And foam is not effective like it is for normal car fires. The future will be interesting for firefighters.
That's a good question maybe it's getaway cars for their crimes against iHeart Media lol
Seriously though I think they know mechanics that can sell the pieces and parts of cars. Very convenient for the original owner (they get a tax break) and makes some cash for the radio station
Yeah it took a minute to get used to that save system and I have been burned a few times. Sometimes I would take advantage of the "save and quit" option instead of using one of the drink saves. Or take a nap on some rando's bed for an hour!
It does get better as you go everything is a lot harder at the early levels. Once you get some armor, a horse and some practice fights in it goes a lot smoother. And running away is always an option
In my experience people who are against more Ukraine aid think that the dollar amount we send is actual cash that can be spent in other places, rather than pallets of munitions that don't keep forever anyway.

As far as safety. It is a big battery after all
