A new crash recently in Alabama, but a reminder to something that we all know. Burning Teslas are far more difficult to extinguish than any other car.

The smoke from the fire is extremely toxic, so letting it burn out is a bad idea. Plus, it’s not wasting water, since the water isn’t removed from the environment.
I’m not sure you understand what waste means here. Of course water is never removed from the environment unless it’s sitting in storage containers. I’m going to assume (I know) that you know what I meant and are just being precocious and pedantic.
As for the smoke. Yes it is dangerous but we deal with that all the time with fertilizer plants going up in smoke, trains derailing, etc. Cover the ev with enough sand or other similar material and that will absorb some of the toxic shit, the rest will just go to the sky and hopefully not kill anything flying overhead. Those of us on the east coast literally (and yes I mean literally) just dealt with this earlier this year with the Canadian forest fires. Smoke was making it’s way as far south as the Carolinas and even this far south people with allergies, asthma, etc were feeling it.
As I said. I’d rather see them let it burn itself out. Unless they are using non-potable water that we don’t want to drink or there happens to be a major water source close enough.
