Hai-Yue, If you know that safer batteries are coming, could you just wink or something?

Yeah, it definitely looked like even the mechanical containment of the module was not there either; there are multiple layers of physical containment to prevent things like this regardless of BMS. 

Safety third! ;)

Hi fellow EVers, 

Happy Thanksgiving and here's an early holiday gift for those of us working or thinking of working with Tesla Battery modules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdDi1haA71Q Every time I see a new one of these videos, I keep redesigning a stronger and stronger module containment system. Whatever I come up with is definitely going to have to involve some real-life destructive testing. Or, should I wait until safer, higher energy density batteries come along? Granted, Richard and his buddies didn't use a BMS or active cooling. However, the consequences of this type of fire even though it might be remote when a BMS and active cooling are used, are so dire it can't be ignored. 

Stay Safe, Glenn
