If Lithium batteries were on fire — probably still burning.

Global ocean under water warming now.

So I knew it — we got underwater cars before we got flying cars.

Currently nobody knows a way to fight a large Li battery fire once it goes into thermal runaway, you just try and isolate it and let it burn. If they didn’t push a few of these burning batteries into the ocean to see the affect of an infinite heat sink a real opportunity was lost.

Reports from dealers awaiting those cars say dealers will not add surcharges over sticker prices on any of the new vehicles recovered from the ocean bottom two miles deep.

They will offer a free $10 car wash coupon for any of the vehicles recovered.
