As I have been telling friends, If you rupture your GAS TANK, and there
is ignition, you may have SECONDS to get
out to safety.
Puncturing the battery pack on the TESLA-S probably caused a series of
shorts, and wires and batteries had a "thermal runaway"
I would LOVE to know the time-line from the owner.
From the moment of striking the metal on the road
to the first sign of a problem, to the first smoke, and finally catching
other stuff on fire.
Any one out there in the TESLA community can add these facts to the
situation ? ?
I would guess several minutes or more.
