Very true, but this one caught fire after hitting a fire hydrant. Very ironic and comicalI'm not sure why every EV catching on fire is news. ICE vehicles have been catching on fire for nearly 140 years.
For me it is a more interesting news to pay attention to than an ICE car catching on fire. I think one of the reasons Tesla glue their batteries together in a single giant pack is safety. And I thought 4680 batteries were suppose to be better at heat dissipation. So I am very interested in seeing how a CT catch on fire vs Lightning or Rivian. And how often (adjusted for numbers). If EVs are the future and ICE is the past, it is only natural for EV fire to be more of a news than ICE. For some there is a political agenda, for some Economical. For me, it is simply more relevant to what I am driving.I'm not sure why every EV catching on fire is news. ICE vehicles have been catching on fire for nearly 140 years.
Good tip. I will keep it in mind.Maybe the truck was already on fire and they crashed into the hydrant to put it out
It thougt the hydrant was a small child and veared toward it.The bigger question should be was it self driving and why didn't it automagically avoid the crash. Perhaps the hydrant darted out in front of it.

Side note, I was always under the assumption that the hydrants are dry until someone puts a wrench on the top nut amd opems the valve below ground.
Practice Practice Practice !Good tip. I will keep it in mind.
Cue the Titanic theme song and a cyber truck hitting a truck hauling ice while using self driving mode...It’s on the news because Elon said it was “Indistrucktable”
