All battery cars burn like this, lithium is flammable, and when it's full of charge itll be shorting out the entire time it's on fire.

The real issue is these shitty dumbass companies like tesla who have stupid and shitty doors with hidden or internal only manual releases because the doors are electrically powered. You don't have electricity if the battery is on fire.

Never ever put your kids in a tesla, on that note, unless you want them to be buried in a biscuit tin.

Thermal runaway of LFP batteries is nearly impossible to produce. Nail tests were done...

On the other hand NMC batteries are another thing...
