Heh, of course, no one would see it... /rimshot
Paging Gordon Lightfoot.
Shocked?
What was that?
I feel so sorry to see all those beautiful hi-tech cars burned up and sunk. Even more so my heart goes out to the poor unfortunate people who waited so long in anticipation and now will have to deal with the horrible disappointment and somehow manage to go on with life knowing that they will have to go through the entire process of ordering another $400,000 dollar car, never knowing for certain if they will ever even obtain it. Life is hard for some folks.
Electric vehicles.
The fire is out now.
The most important question in, are those cars still burning? Battery fires have no need of oxygen so applying water to smother them won’t work. There have been battery-only EVs (mostly Teslas) that have needed tens of thousands of gallons of water applied over a period of days to extinguish, so the water isn’t what’s putting them out, the water is just containing a spread while the fires exhaust their fuel source.
But submerging, especially in an essentially infinite pool of water, could drain sufficient heat from the fires that they’re cooled to below the temperature of spontaneous ignition of the lithium (or whatever metal it is that’s burning).
Yukky color, belongs on the bottom with other seaweed.
Oh well. I’m not sure I had room in the shed for another Lambo anyways...
Salvaging a couple pof Lamborghinis might leave one sitting quite pretty.
Oh no!!!
There goes my long-awaited Lamborghini. However shall I drive to the grocery store?
Channeling my best inner Marie Antoinette:
