The one that exploded was in better shape
Roger that, this one looks like it has been hit with a steam roller...I don't get it, unless the photo is faked. I get the melted plastic but twisted stainless steel from heat?
I’m guessing the pack went into thermal runaway.
Phew, that would be ugly.
worse than that, they will blame the fires on the CT.
We didn’t start the fire
It looks like the Cybertruck was parked in a large shop/garage with a bunch of ICE vehicles. And gasoline. It would be a miracle if all that spilled gas wasn't hot enough to ignite the battery.
The stainless skin is strong, but it was never intended to hold its shape if the aluminum castings melted and tires burned off.
The aluminum subframe is just gone, that was no ordinary fire. Aluminum (assuming no alloy) melts at 660C... is that enough to cause warping in the stainless if it was heating unevenly? At those temps, it's just impressive you can still tell it was a CT.
