Kim Jae-ho, Fire and Disaster Prevention professor at Daejeon University, said the fire had probably spread too quickly for workers to escape. "Battery materials such as nickel are easily flammable," he said. "So often, there is not enough time to respond, compared to a fire caused by other materials."
. Otherwise $52 billion in Canadian taxpayer money will go up in smoke
Tesla has been included on a Chinese government purchase list for the first time, making it the only foreign-owned EV brand on the list. The Jiangsu province government stated that Tesla's Shanghai-made Model Y qualifies as a domestic car. This inclusion highlights Tesla's growing relationship with China, where the company has a significant market presence and a large manufacturing base. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/05/business/tesla-enters-chinese-government-purchase-list-for-first-time-intl-hnk/index.html

Tesla, an American car company that reports to Chinese authorities, has received massive government handouts from China and single-handedly initiated China's race to build better EVs. Once Elon Musk arrived, the Chinese learned so much from Tesla that they are now beating Tesla and leading the world in battery manufacturing. Tax breaks, cheap loans, and other forms of assistance have subsequently turned China into Tesla’s most important market for selling Ev's. If anything, you could argue that Tesla has had an unfair advantage over domestic manufacturers here, Maybe if Ford, Dodge, and GM had received similar support, we might have an affordable EV market in the US. Perhaps then, the US wouldn't be in such a panic—just speculation of course.

Their stated goal is to get ahead by stealing technology and copying designs.And this is just another layer of the unfair advantage sandwich.Here hoping for even more taxes on them.
Aren't Teslas loaded with cameras and sensors and connected to the Internet, ready to report back at any time?Ban Huawei, get the most American made car!
