    A crash involving a Tesla Semi took place in the wee hours of
    August 19, a US agency said.

    US firefighters used some 190,000 liters of water to extinguish
    a blaze involving an electric Tesla Semi truck this month
    following a crash, a government agency said.

    Besides water to cool the vehicle's batteries, California
    firefighters also "used an aircraft to apply fire retardant
    to the immediate area as a precautionary measure," said the
    National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in a statement
    released Thursday.

    The crash involving the Tesla Semi took place in the wee
    hours of August 19 as the vehicle was traveling near
    Emigrant Gap in California, the NTSB said.

    Great point. And despite the news articles every single week about
    sodium batteries and safer lithium batteries and all kinds of new
    advances, EV rev 1 will of course never ever get better. /s
