Shocking! Look what happens to electric vehicles in a hurricane!

LIFEPO batteries have close to the same capacity, but wont start on fire if it gets wet, so EV cars need to go back to using LIFEPO batteries again, they are much safer.

Cyber Truck from Tesla very ugly !

Ok, haters.

These two fools sound incredibly stupid not doing any research and finding out that the Cyber truck batteries are hermetically sealed. Do a little research and find out what you're talking about so you don't sound like little idiots!

I have a Subaru Outback 2002 in white with 275k the best!
And a Ferrari 458 2014 in white also in Florida New Smyrna Beach the Ferrari in Titusville stored high ! The Outback heavenly reliable!!!!
No EV , maybe the Tonale 2024 Hybrid Alfa Romeo looking at it.

Good points on EVs charging indoor and fires.
It will tak years till charging stations equal gas stations numbers.
Hybrids will burn just like EVs in salt water.
A water proof battery is needed or have states outlaw hurricanes.

I don't care how we power the vehicles as long as it's not global warming gasoline..
and EV's are actually a kick-ass speaker brand

Lithium and water, especially salty water, dont mix. Unless youre trying to cause an explosion and an extremely hot fire you cant even put out with water, and need hours of very expensive equipment to put out

LOL you guys crack me up. Hybrids are for uneducated people who can't understand how electronics work. HAHAHA the gas cars catch fire every year by the hundreds ... no news coverage. Fear and lack of education keep up the good work!

Folks Ignorance runs this world... now more than ever people gone buy Evs, especially after seeing this video... they think it's cool and then go buy an EV car.. Ignorance is what runs this world.

EV's... When it all goes wrong they... Go up in flames with temps approaching 5000 degrees, Explode, or produce deadly gasses. The batteries produce their own oxygen when aflame! Either way you have 12 seconds to make your life saving decision. Start early - DO NOT BUY AN EV!

Crapla

Saltwater is not good for any car.

There are verified accounts where Tesla drove through deep stand water after rain, which allowed water to get into the battery compartment and destroy the battery. Tesla will not repair or replace the battery pack. Everyone should know that most EV vehicle's Li batteries get very hot when you charge or discharge the battery, so most have vents with fans to reduce the pack's temperature. Yes, Teslas vent to the air. So, if the water is deep enough, it will enter the battery pack. I worked for a company designing and developing Expandable Li Battery Packs and Battery Management Systems. At the time, we created our Li packs to be sealed in a water-tight pack and used an external radiator and pump to use a noncorrosive fluid to hold the battery pack. We even used a 12 Volt heater to heat the liquid in cold weather. Most car companies will not do this since the packs are slightly larger and heavier. A few other notes about Li batteries: Some conditions are optimal for the battery to have a long life: 1) don't charge or use Li batteries at temperatures below 5 or 10 degrees Celsius, and some battery packs do not have heaters. 2) Only charge Li batteries at or less than 70% capacity; it is best to charge when ~40%. 3) The higher charging current will reduce battery life. During my time as an engineer working on this battery system, a 2C, twice as fast charge, reduced the life by ~ 3%. There may be new technology to eliminate this since Tesla has 4 to 5 C fast charger stations. My apologies; I tend to talk and comment too much.

Look what happens????

This is the news no one wants to talk about as it goes against the 2035 agenda for all electric. Imagine how much this will cost for insurance companies. 😬

Electric vehicles are crap….ban all of them. Bring back real muscle cars with 4-6 speed manual transmissions.

"my daughter didn't know what EV stood for. I had to tell her." Yeah... that's your daughter.... and you taught her. Isn't that just a dad thing?

Ya know there was no infrastructure for cars when Ford mass produced them, right.

I choose gas and also like hybrids but consumers and manufacturers should have the freedom of choice, let the invisible hand of the free market decide

Appreciate the video. Tesla batteries are actually sealed very well. Check out Sandy Munro’s video on it. Yes, there are some bad fit and finishes for sure, but much better build quality now. Nothing will happen to that Cybertruck in the rain water. The good thing with Tesla is the warranty. Most have 8 years 120 miles plus the 4 years 50,000 miles bumper to bumper. When you look at statistics on car fires on EV’s they are extremely lower than ICE cars. Tesla just gets the bad rap when you see some go on fire because Musk is hated by the left and mainstream media.

So you guys are in the Sebastian area roughly? I myself in about 10 minutes south of Cocoa on route one.

Meh. Water Proofing will be engineered into them. These are solvable problems.

Fake video title stfu

Teslas drive just fine in deep water. I've seen them with water 3/4 of the way up on the side windows and get through just fine. The water does leak into the interior and soak your upholstery, but it will keep on driving. Their battery bays are water tight.

Late 80s Lincolns were noted Car B Cue candidates. My buddy's parents had a Town Car that burned down his home.

In the north we salt our roads during winter. The salt melts the snow and ice and our roads are covered with a salty brine!

Poor build quality on cars isn't so bad. It's just a damn shame they don't also build, oh just for example, passenger rockets for space travel.
Just sayin...

This is the first I've seen of y'all, I was watching Justin Johnson, ya know the shovel playing blues man? He had this video on his channel. Y'all may want to give a shout out to Justin.
Good show guys.

Are you guys seriously conflating TSBs with recalls?

Tesla's biggest problem is Elon Musk. People don't want any association with that clown.

EVs are a joke other than running around the block to pick something up at the local store. By the way, the wife just went shopping and came home with a 2024 Powerstroke F350 KingRanch. That’s what I’m talking about!!!!

So the whole Gavin Newsom thing around the 2 minute mark is just totally inaccurate. California's EV law is effective in 2035. That's just over 10 years from now. So the whole pizza delivery guy thing...

I was told the water used to put out an EV fire mixes with chemicals released by the battery and becomes toxic waste. Perhaps hydrochloric acid as well.

Salt water conducts electricity BTW

with ev california will eventually have to choose between AC and EV coz theres not enough juice either

I live in southern Ontario, so we get a lot of cold up here in the winter. They also SALT the roads when there's snow and ice. You can imagine what slushy, salty roads would do to a Lithium Ion battery. My wife and I both agree that we don't want an EV right now. Just too much bad press and range anxiety with these. Especially in cold weather. I think it's too soon to buy one right now. Once they can correct the issues and lengthen the battery range, I might be interested then. Might.

Im old school i prefer to here the rumble of a V8 or the roar of a deisel motor ! I was born in 63 which makes me 61 and i will never own an EV !

Go musk take out our homes,I guess the idiots that buy tesla get what they deserve.

About 15 years ago when I was working at DOT, one of the studies that the human factors team was looking at was the fact that the electric cars are too quiet. This caused potential problems in certain environments (think a noisy urban environment, for example) where a person with hearing disabilities, or say a blind person, was trying to navigate crossing an intersection. Some of the experiments performed involved gathering data that about when a hearing-disabled person could detect the car which which was as shipped from the factory and ones we outfitted with a variety of sound emitters. It was all a farily preliminary study at the time, but I found it rather interesting.

What does this have to do with hurricanes? Absolutely nothing. Just saying that there are a lot of issues out there to think about.

I'm 100% for H2-ICE-hybrid. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in our universe, and burning it mostly produces clean water vapor. Our current high performance engines can be converted to run on hydrogen......🏎🏍

I keep hearing the claim that anything powered by a battery will catch on fire if it gets in salt water.

Keep in mind ALL of the best military submarines are battery powered when submerged. While these have caught on fire before, I can't remember the last time this happened.

What makes vehicle electrical systems short out and catch on fire is not being designed to handle being submerged in salt water.

Automakers always have the option of sealing their battery compartments and including fuseable links between cells.

I'm an old guy with more than 12 ICE powered vehicles currently, but we love our EV for daily commuting. It is always plugged in when parked, automatically charges to 80% when electricity prices are $0.08/kWh, and is always ready to go for the entire day every day for all of our commuting needs. It costs about 1/4 as much $ as our hybrid vehicles to operate.

For all long trips and all towing, we use our ICE powered vehicles. While the EV is by far the best daily commuter, it sucks for these needs...

Elon is supposedly a genius. How come he couldn't forsee these obvious issues?

And not one reported by the Mainstream media.
How’s that happen Elon? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I see lawsuit coming

When will media get back to telling the truth?

i am an ev hater because of its massive fire damage and health risk and they are not clean to make

So let me get this straight.... Even before WWII we had submarines that ran on batteries while completely submerged. Yet we can't make EV's that can handle a couple feet of water?

If you don't show Tesla at title no body going to look at your show
