原文內容:The National Transportation Safety Board did not offer any reasons why a
Tesla Model S sedan suddenly caught fire in June in a preliminary report it
released on Tuesday about the incident.
The report provides a detailed timeline of the events that followed the
moment when the car, which was on the road in Los Angeles, began emitting
smoke. The report does not, however, include any information that provides
insight into the fire's possible cause. It can take 12 to 24 months for the
NTSB to release full reports about investigations.
A Tesla spokesperson said the company is continuing to investigate the
incident, but has found so far that the vehicle's battery architecture was
able to keep the fire contained to a single module within the battery.
"The cabin was totally unaffected by the fire, and our customer had more than
four minutes to exit the vehicle before any flames appeared. We're glad our
customer is safe," the spokesperson said.
The Model S fire first drew attention after the actress Mary McCormack —
whose husband, British director Michael Morris, was driving the vehicle —
shared a video of it on Twitter. In the video, fire can be seen beneath the
vehicle's front left tire.
"No accident, out of the blue, in traffic on Santa Monica Blvd. Thank you to
the kind couple who flagged him down and told him to pull over. And thank god
my three little girls weren't in the car with him," she wrote.
In its preliminary report, the NTSB says the incident didn't cause any
injuries.
Tesla has had a contentious relationship with the agency in the past year.
After the NTSB began investigating a Model X SUV that crashed into a highway
barrier in March while Autopilot — Tesla's semi-autonomous driver-assistance
system — was engaged, the company and agency clashed over Tesla's decision
to reveal information about the fatal crash on its blog.
As a result, Tesla is no longer a party to the agency's investigation, though
the company said it would continue to assist the agency. Each side disagreed
over who ended Tesla's party status. The NTSB said it revoked it, while Tesla
said it voluntarily chose to remove itself from the party agreement.
The agency is also investigating a fatal Model S crash from May in which the
vehicle caught fire after it crashed into a concrete wall.
重點節錄:
這台Model S 六月時在LA 街上行駛的時候無事故情況下自燃.
NTSB還在調查起火燃燒的原因,因此初步報告中沒公佈起火原因.
特斯拉也針對此問題進行調查中.
並指出到有火燄竄出前,間隔了整整四分鐘的時間.
且車廂本身並未起火或受燃燒影響.而電池本身僅一個模組受損.
心得/說明:
有趣的是,當事人的太太(某女星,我不認識)在推特中特別感謝攔停了其丈夫(駕駛)的路人.
看起來是路人看到車輛在冒煙時把駕駛攔了下來,並警告其車輛已冒煙了.
這或許表示這車在已經進入危險狀況時,並沒警告駕駛車輛已出現問題.
假如真的是這樣,希望他們能找出為什麼車輛沒事先警告駕駛.
不然會是個很嚴重的安全問題.
還有一點就是,消防隊還特別打給特斯拉咨詢如何滅火跟注意事項.
而特斯拉也把這車拖回原廠調查.
不過這次特斯拉並沒像上次Model X 在SF自撞事件特別公佈調查進度.
Musk的所謂公開,透明...科科.
