Disposable consumer products. Just like your phone.

Boy, wouldn't it be unfortunate if the batteries caught fire in a Ferrari 296?  Once they start, it just can't be stopped, apparently.  Hopefully the drivers are young and nimble.

Apparently Porsche hasn't done well reverse engineering Tesla.  Kinda like aerospace companies and SpaceX.

According to Reuters, the Felicity Ace, which according to the latest reports is carrying around 4,000 vehicles (bizarrely, that's more than the roughly 2,500 it was reported to be carrying earlier in the week) has been complicated by the fact that the lithium-ion batteries aboard some electric vehicles on the ship have caught fire, exacerbating the blaze. The 22 crew members on board were evacuated on the same day the ship caught fire.

"The intervention (to put out the blaze) has to be done very slowly," João Mendes Cabeças, captain of the nearest port in the Azorean island of Faial, told Reuters late on Saturday. "It will take a while."

Lithium-ion batteries in the electric vehicles on board are "keeping the fire alive", Cabeças said, adding that specialist equipment to extinguish it was on the way.

Isn't that the guy who donated $5.7 Billion to fight world hunger?

Looks like Porsche may have finally reverse engineered Tesla…
