Highway I-880 is in the western part of the San Francisco Bay Area (Hayward). It was closed for 10 hours for a Tesla Semi fire.
Nothing mentions how the fire got started, if anyone even knows. Was it the battery that started the fire, or was a tire, or the breaks that started things, and then the battery got involved? We will probably never find out, even if Tesla has some insight into the issue.
This is the StacheD Training video Tesla Semi Battery Fire Shuts Down I-880 at Rush Hour
The battery in this truck is massive. Depending on the version, it's either a 548 or 822kWh battery. Essentially, three battery packs. The rough equivalency is 7 to 8 Tesla Model Y's.
All burning at the same time. Pat talks about the difference between a diesel semi fire, and this fire in the video. The video is four and a half minutes.
