Tesla has caught heat in the past for its battery packs bursting into flames, but a crash on Tuesday in Corvallis, Oregon, suggests that the electric vehicles might pose a fire hazard not just to themselves but to the surrounding environment.
In an incident spotted by The Drive, a speeding Model 3 hit a power pole, shearing the pole at its base and hurling bits of the car far from the crash site, the Corvallis Police Department said in a statement on Facebook. The Model 3 was obliterated, and its battery pack was destroyed, flinging burning-hot battery cells around the neighborhood.
Battery cells broke through two windows of two homes — one landed on a person's lap, while the other landed on a bed and caught the sheets on fire, the police said.

The police said authorities tried to collect as many of the battery cells as they could, spending roughly three hours investigating and cleaning up.

what a f junk car
good luck

靠，这也太猛了。电车确实是在安全性上有天然的优势。
The police said the driver was going over 100 mph when he lost control of
the vehicle, plowing into the power pole, two trees, and a telephone

BS
how 'bout a Hummer
很多人还没有意识到，电车的结构安全性是一大卖点，相同的档次，比燃油车要耐撞得多。
Model 3 is great, with hundreds of toxic incinerating mini-bombs
Not likely to survive a 100mph crash towards a power pole.

是啊。车版讨论过这个问题，电车前面因为没有发动机和变速箱，前面空空荡荡，防撞结构可以做得异常粗壮。不光是特斯拉，天朝的电车也拿这个做为宣传点，但大多数人还没有意识过电车的这个优点。
Model 3以前有过好几次六七十迈出事故的例子，但100迈应该是第一次。如果是燃油家油车，生存机会很低，更不可能还步行逃跑。

是的，我看过本地新闻，有个警察，值勤时没注意撞到电线杆就挂掉了。如果是开特斯拉肯定还活得好好的。

K, 100迈的速度，竟然只有minor injuries.

it all depends on how it happened
if this Model 3 hit the pole dead center driver's side
he'll be a goner
also, 100 mph was only an estimated speed before t accident
it might already slowed down significantly on impact
这个是真牛逼，这么高速度放油车估计司机都爆成渣了
Model 3 真牛逼,
put ur whole family there
关键是自动驾驶怎么没识别出电线杆
tesla's battery system design is f genius
LOL
Burn!
