Holy shit that's intense. Lucky they were there to take it out of the garage because that place would've been finished. I wonder how far away the cells managed to land, though. In the wrong place at the wrong time you could probably easily cause a large fire with an accident like this.

Important to note that these were battery cells taken from a Tesla and were not connected to a Battery Management System or cooling. So they were tempting fate here. Still though, jeeze. Goes to show even the skilled make mistakes. Important to remember what you're dealing with.

Are you sure they were skilled? Sounds like they know shit about batteries.

Honestly though this guy seems he's flying by the seat of his pants. "LOL EVS ARE EASY, JUST HARVEST A BUNCH OF 18650S FROM VAPES".

The lack of safety and lack of engineering consideration is annoying
