On Friday, The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article about a man launching his jet ski into the water at a boat ramp. That really doesn’t sound like an article for The American Thinker until you look into the details.<\/p>\n

The article quotes a Facebook post by an organization of firefighters in Hollywood, Florida:<\/p>\n

On Sunday Oct 1st, a Tesla Model S [sic] was attempting to back a jet ski into the water at the Polk Street boat ramp, when it lost traction and slid into the inter-coastal [sic]. The salt water reacted with the the [sic] vehicle\u2019s electronics causing them to short, sparking a fire that burned underwater for an extended period of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fire was allowed to burn underwater until it extinguished itself. And even then, it had to be loaded carefully onto a special carrier, and followed by the Fire Engine to the impound lot, where they\u2019ll keep the vehicle isolated for a few days in the very real possibility of re-ignition. EVs have been known to reignite even after the initial fire has been extinguished.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article also quotes Autoblog<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The wife backs the trailer and jet ski into the water, the husband gets the jet ski into the water. While the husband is on the water on the jet ski, the\u00a0Tesla<\/a>\u00a0begins flashing a warning to the wife to get out of the\u00a0Model X<\/a>. The car’s electronically powered doors are closed, and whatever malfunction is occurring won’t permit the doors to open. Apparently, the wife didn’t know about the manual release for the doors, so the husband rocks up and gets her out before the Model X ends up submerged.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

As the firefighters\u2019 Facebook post also noted, the uniqueness of EV fires is creating a \u201cwhole new level of hazard\u201d to fire prevention and fire service apparatuses:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is an issue with all Electric Vehicles, not just Tesla. And their prevalence is adding a whole new level of hazard to the Fire Service, causing Fire Departments worldwide to rethink how they mitigate electric vehicle emergencies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If this occurrence isn\u2019t just\u00a0another datum point in the obvious trend proving that avoiding battery-powered cars is the way to go (for the sake of humanity and the environment), and shoring up the reality that the left always has the stupidest ideas, then I don\u2019t know what is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This story could have had a very different ending. Thank God that the husband was quick to unlock the door.<\/p>\n
