Sounds like a fun reactive target for the range, LOL.
I actually did shoot one one time, but I guess it was too depleted and didn't do anything.
We had someone accidentally throw a box into that cardboard bailer that had a item with a small lithium battery in it at work . A few minutes after being crushed we noticed smoke coming from the bailer . We had to empty it , put out a fire then re bail all the cardboard .

Yep. They're all lead acid batteries. My old batteries were Crown. They worked fine, until they didn't. One day I was in the electrical room and one of the batteries blew a hole in the top by the post while I was looking at it.
Lithium reacts to moisture and water like sodium and phosprus,
I have seen that happen before, when i was working several of my buildings had really big battery rooms to augment computer back up systems, THEY were all lead acid!
Another cargo ship carrying electric cars burns out of control.

Great! I would like to see anything built overseas not make it here!!
The cargo ship is still burning...they can't put it out.

They also "react" to being charged or discharged incorrectly.
Lithiums come with battery managers which monitor charge/discharge rates in order to keep the battery from melting down.
I think many of the accidents are from these circuits failing. But the fires are so intense there is no circuit board left to analyze.

Just heard that Ford is set to lose $4.5 billion on electric vehicles this year. I wonder if the government (taxpayer) will bail them out so they can continue making these crap cars that nobody wants.

The government does it for GM all the time, so why not Ford too.

That's Another reason not to have one of those death traps
My aunt got "trapped" in her car on a scorching hot day in the Mississippi Delta. Not really trapped but she had to drive the car with the interior electrical system out. Couldn't roll down the electric windows, no AC or vent fan. She had to drive holding the door open to get ventilation.
This was decades ago when we were still in an "impending ice age".
So the forecast for this week for the Delta can't be blamed on "global warming"...it's normal and always been that way.

Not so much the heat but it's the humidity around here. It's so humid here I have a top for my aquarium to keep the fish in!

Fool- the manual release latch is about halfway back on the arm rest. I think if I was panicked, I be pushing every button ( and there is not many, 3 on each door to be exact)
Now we know who votes for Biden.

I'll have to look for that next time a Tesla is in the shop.

My wife told me not use that one in hers. Half way on armrest and on the side. Main one is up high around the armrest handle.
In the past, Ford has tended to not take bailout money. They didn't like the strings that were attached to it.
