Electric vehicles can catch fire if they are inundated by saltwater, though the problem is rare
It makes a good title, and I’m not really here to defend Tesla. I hate cars in general and I think we should have much much more public transit rather than push EVs on everyone, but won’t/couldn’t this kind of news dissuade some people from getting EVs, and make them think ICEs are safer?
I guess it’s good to let people know about that small possibility, but it shouldn’t deter efforts to move away from oil.
Is this more common with Tesla than other EVs?

If the battery packs are not sealed properly or the seal breaks, water can cause it to short and catch fire.
