look at the video on youtube... or fire an AR 15 into a battery pack (LIPO) and stay away, first it's gaz, then it burns...
and musk knows it... what a bastard, just to do threesomes... lol.
everything, they pimp, is "evil" at its core...
the electric tank will not be on lipo
.
No they are LI ion, do LI ions not catch fire? Of course they do, they designed the thing to withstand and delay the fire long enough for the people to exit the car, and this has happened in all non fatal accidents. You are at risk when you hold a smartphone in your hand or next to your head all the time.
It is a massive concentration of energy in a rather small space. What else did you expect?
I have seen efforts to use different materials to harness the energy, Lithium combined with different things for various reasons. But hey, people are used to sit in cars full with fuel tanks that burn (controlled) in front of them. You are not going to say that doesn't catch fire do you?
Even is LIPO doesn't catch on, something else will. I understand that
Lithium Polymer is actually better and safer than LI Ions currently in widespread use.
