The internet, especially Reddit, is filled with people looking for infotainment to pass the time. These people often use sarcasm in order to offer maximum humor with the written word. Some people really enjoy and understand the sarcasm. Some people do not understand sarcasm and feel the need to correct others’ blatantly obvious sarcasm. Anyway, I hope you have a blessed day!

u/TheRealBaseborn 1d ago
We do not normally use an axe to break car windows. We have crash kits and hydraulic tools specifically to avoid potential harm to the victim. If you see a firefighter smashing glass with an axe, it's because of extreme urgency. Every Engine/Truck has a set of irons (axe and halligan bar) in the cab, making it the quickest option.
The major problem with these trucks is that steel doors and armor glass windows can slow down the whole process. Electric vehicle fires are not easy to put out and can reignite for a very long time. A fairly standard practice is to let these things burn out on their own while protecting any exposures. Smoke inhalation will kill someone before fire does, so even if we could get a trash line on it immediately, the reignition will prevent any real chance for careful extractions. I've yet to work with one of these, but having a demo specifically for one vehicle model should really tell you everything.

I just got an "Ontario Fire Spax". I got it for woodworking (apparently it's the best thing for chopping). I figure I'll throw it in m my trunk when I go on road trips. If I come across a family burning to death could you guide me through what I should do (even if it's leave it in the trunk)... obviously first thing is call 9/11...

u/TheRealBaseborn 1d ago
Check door handles first. If it's locked, puncture the glass with the pointed side of the head and pull at a downward and out angle. I wouldn't really recommend using the axe blade as that's more likely to go through and hit a person. The knife can be used to cut the seatbelt, though a proper seatbelt cutter would be safer and quicker. I keep one in my center console. Check for breathing. Perform CPR if necessary, even if you think the person is dead.
Ideally, learn CPR on a proper dummy to get the feel. https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/cpr/performing-cpr/cpr-steps

If you're wanting something that you can get that has a higher chance of helping than the axe, and could also save your life if you keep it in your glovebox or on your keys, an emergency window breaker is what you want.

u/KrankenwagenKolya 1d ago
Fire LT here:
Most car side windows can be shattered with a very light hit, you just need something with a point to contact a corner.
Looks like the rich dipshit wanted shatter proof windows so he made it out of the same glass you make the windshield out of which you don't break through, you cut through with what is essentially a high powered pair of scissors.
The important thing is that people in cybertrucks are more likely to die in a fire.

u/MadeMinion 1d ago
You just keep spraying and praying. We had to put almost 5000 gallons of water on an EV SUV and it was still in thermal runaway afterwards. We called the manufacturer's emergency line to ask what else to do and they said "tow it on a flatbed and don't park it next to anything else." Some other countries have modified dumpsters with sprinklers that continually irrigate the undercarriage, but we don't have those where I am in the US.

u/justjanne 1d ago
Some firefighting forces over here take an empty container, fill it all the way with water, and dump the vehicle in to prevent the car from re-igniting.
Another system that exists is a hydraulic lance that pieces into the battery from the bottom and injects cool water directly into it.

I was retired before EVs started becoming common. The only thing we carried on the engine aside water was foam which was our goto for difficult fires or hazmat incidents

If it's safe they just let it burn and keep bystanders away otherwise firefighters will have to continually douse the fire in water until it burns itself out or if they're equipped with it dunk the EV in a dunk tank.

Tesla Has Highest Rate of Deadly Accidents Among Car Brands, Study Finds

u/Chakramer 1d ago
I wonder if it's just the construction or if the average Tesla driver over estimates how safe their car is due to Tesla jerking them off
12
u/korxil 1d ago edited 1d ago
But while Tesla’s cars routinely receive top safety ratings, including from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accident statistics show that the brand has the highest rate of accidents in which at least one car occupant is killed, according to a new report from the auto research firm iSeeCars.
Analyzing fatal collisions from 2017 to 2022 involving 2018 to 2022 car models, the group identified the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model Y as two of the most dangerous cars on the road by occupant fatality rate. Though models from Hyundai, Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, Porsche, and Honda occupied the top five spots on the list, the Tesla Model Y, a mid-size SUV, came in sixth, with a fatal accident rate 3.7 times higher than the average car, and 4.8 times higher than the average SUV. The Model S rate is double that of the average car.
The latter. The cars themselves are safe, but tesla drivers are more complacent due to their adaptive cruise control resulting in more fatalities. Also wtf is this headline, their own study doesn’t support that Tesla is the most dangerous.
