For the first time, the brandspook after Fisker and other manufacturers now also EV-maker Tesla is reached. After a crash with a “large metallic object” in the US, started a fire(you), that according to the present firefighters the batteries in the wings.

The how and what of the accident in the state of Washington has yet to exactly be examined, although this is due to the U.s. shutdown still may take some time. Thing is that the driver is unharmed from his superveilige Model’s got on, which then caught fire.

The theatre spuitgasten knew the fire initially checking, but then this showed its head at the front of the car showed that the water on the batteries, the fire is only getting worse, according to first reports of the fire brigade, which Jalopnik newcomer in the list.

As said, further research should reveal whether it is actually the lithium-ion batteries were that were on fire or that the fire in the heat of the battle may be a wrong initial diagnosis.

We don’t want firing, but if you look at what happens when you burning lithium with water mixes, such as this gentleman in slippers demonstrates, then, can you imagine that all parties there are lots of is located to properly perform research.

And the Tesla was not the only thing burned. Investors who just a few shares were bought the saw 6 to 9 percent of their share price go up in smoke (which, however, still above the 180 USD closed). Tesla is and will remain quite a volatile share at the end of the account. CEO Elon Musk himself has nothing tweets, by the way, very wise.
