Wow. Glad no one was hurt. I was just on the phone with someone from there yesterday.

The article mentions they used a “turtle nozzle” to extinguish the fire, which I had never heard of. pretty cool idea:

Glad everyone is okay! That's my SC, wonder if it'll impact my upcoming service appointment for the recalls.

I really like the Rosenbauer systems. It does destroy the battery in the process. But if the fire has not spread, thats all it destroys.

Well that is really neat too! Next they will have to add little emergency water ports to the side of a vehicle like they do for tow hooks.
I wonder how many battery packs that works as a one and done puncture. Or how well it would handle Rivian's underbody protection package.
