    Interestingly, California was just in the news about this particular issue. They've bought some Teslas for use as police cruisers and the police officers who use them are rejecting them because they were trained to use the block of an engine as armor in a shootout. Of course, the Tesla has no engine.

    Not sure on that on Jim when Lithium gets exposed to air it goes up like thermite with scads of toxic smoke best get them their old cruisers back for fire fights.
    Also check out how many ppl are handing back or ditching their EV's in China so many fires and explosions from them we are getting fires here as well at houses from charging episodes so not sure on insurance companies paying out on that one !

    Exactly my point, it would probably high order when hit by a single bullet...

    And, you've got like five seconds to egress the area before it goes critical. In an enclosed area like a parking garage, the fire is strong enough to suck the air out the surrounding area. If you don't burn you'll suffocate. This from recent fire fighting experiments in Scotland.
