There weren’t many Tesla Semis. For one to catch on fire like this is not a good look.

      Yeah, except Tesla Semi has 900kwHr of battery to burn through, roughly 10x a regular Tesla.

      A regular EV is hard enough. I dunno if any fire department can deal with a Tesla Semi. Honestly.

    Honestly, just as much time for some other semi accident cleanups. Consider a tanker carrying fuel or semi carrying an unsecured load. Cleanup takes time.

      Consider a tanker carrying fuel

      This was just the engine, no trailer involved.

      This is an example of a non-hazmat Tesla Semi shutting down an entire highway for hours over an incredible fire.
