Another scare article on a fire at a Tesla megapack

[Crissa]

Of course, I heard about this from my state fire unit, they have an advisory about the smoke for the hundred or so people who live in the area. It's very sparsely populated, being in the middle of an estuary.




Any bets it's another transformer fire, and not a Tesla component? We might not know for months.

In fact, these storage units are a major reason the California grid never did have to issue any brownouts during the unprecendentedly long heat wave the first half of this month.

It's so iconic, I had to google Moss Landing to know where it was, even though I'm just 3 hours south.

And I have even driven past it at least once!

And because of the old power plant, you can see it from 20-40 miles away.
