They were just testing fun bits. I got the hook up.


Nothing serious.

That's what happens when you overcharge a Lithium Ion battery.

Umm, no. When stuff explodes or is burning I usually decide whether or not I can help, then if not stay as far away as possible. Reminder, I was there for my neighbor when his place burned down, wife was pissed I was in pj's and socks fighting to get them out of their house.

Yep. I'm good even with an iphone camera and FB for iPhone. Posted it to their page.

I wonder what caused more swerving...

The plume of smoke, or everybody on the freeway going for the camera? :thumbsup:

Pretty much, I know I was guilty, but it was an emergency so I first got the shot then was on w/ 911.

~They started ordering up parts for the production run and pending 400 workers this week. This is gonna be a bit of a damper. I think Zorg's right, battery situation.

I know a Bong explosion when I see one; this is what happens when engineers start "developing" things.

 

[mboldt]

Saw/smelled this coming down Mission Peak. Definitely an electronic burning smell to it.

 

[motorbacon]

I know the details. Rather comical, to a degree. All is good.

Spill it b/c I was told it was a battery-cycling-stress-test gone bad. At least it isn't a Chevy Volt situation? Electric Car Battery Catches Fire After Crash Test | Forums | Tesla Motors

Stupid overpowered life-size R/C Cars causing such drama.

 

[motorbacon]

Can't spill. Secrets yo.

 

[Brewtality]

Can't spill. Secrets yo.

Spill it yo. We won't tell. Promise

 

[motorbacon]

They were having a bbq for the entire work force. Duh.

Dude, what kind of mtbr reporter are you??? You should be fine as long as you wear a helmet and are packing a mountian lion knife.
