      I’m pretty sure you still need an accelerant, which would be the more expensive part.

        Or you just pour water on the “wrong spot” (where tesla was too cheap to protect the batteries) and it burns down itself.

            Afaik, moisture getting into batteries/accumulators is the main cause for them to bloat and to bad, which is a problem with teslas, as can be seen by problems arising from just being in rainy weather often (UK)

              You’re not wrong but that takes a lot of time. Its an oxidation reaction happening.the fastest way to start a volatile reaction in a sealed lithium battery cell is to pierce the exterior container
