If you haven't seen a Tesla burn uncontrollably, emitting clouds of very poisonous smoke, search for video and watch it.
Same thing happens to e-bike batteries; you can find video of a man being spontaneously incinerated after carrying his e-bike battery into an elevator.
And of course the same thing happens to battery storage for the grid. Battery farms spontaneously start burning and it just spreads and spreads.
I think of this every time somebody argues that nuclear fission can be replaced by solar/wind + huge battery farms. For example, see the recent discussion here:
I cringed when Musk embraced lithium-ion batteries for grid storage, there were better chemistries out there that got ignored. Guessing it set us back 20 years for that application.

Imagine the battery fire.
