A truck hauling Tesla vehicles caught fire Tuesday night on Interstate 80 near Carlin, forcing the Nevada Highway Patrol to close the freeway to eastbound traffic.

The incident was called in at about 9:10 p.m.

The truck’s cargo of electric vehicles was fully engulfed in flames.

the first commercial fusion reactors will use the deuterium-tritium fuel cycle. deuterium can be extracted from seawater but tritium is very rare on earth. the current idea is that the power plants will breed their own tritium by wrapping the reactor vessel in lithium, which transforms into tritium and helium under neutron bombardment. burned out battery cores would indeed be a decent source of the lithium for that process.

I prefer my mental image of Doc Brown dumping used batteries into the Mr. Fusion

Remember the bazinga who did a live child testing video in an attempt to prove how safe Teslas are? According to Elon himself in a reply to said stan, there was an error in pedestrian detection, requiring a software update, so in fact everyone who said FSD was bad was right (and patch aside, FSD probably still is unsafe):

Any major refresh would need to be Elon Approved as sufficiently futuristic and cool (built in turbine! Transforming wheelbase! Quantum processor!) so it would be a poo poo show.

Ironically also a way to juice sales with folks going NEED NEW ONE TO LOOK COOL

Elon's most recent idea of "looks futuristic and cool" was the cybertruck

Over a year ago, I think it was, Twitter said they were going to delete accounts that had been completely inactive for 10+ years to free up those names. Then they never actually did it for some reason but I think this is just him taking credit for something the prior management was planning to do
