Touchdown! Greaser!
To late. 59 and 69. They’ve probably already spread there seed into the evolutionary future.

Line Up and Wait
I thought Teslas checked for torque on the steering wheel while the autopilot was engaged to make sure the driver had their hands on the wheel? I'm sure there are ways around it (a weight hanging on the wheel?) or maybe the passenger reached over to the wheel enough to satisfy the autopilot.

Four hours and 32,000 gallons of H2O before the fire was allowed to burn itself out in this instance. Tesla documentation implies an HV fire can he extinguished with 1/10th the water, then goes on to say let a battery fire just burn itself out.

Lithium is like sodium - it's very reactive with water.
(checks the statute of limitations)
Back when I was in high school, we got to learn about such things in the controlled chemistry lab experiments. Except that - as the story goes - someone took a much larger chunk of the stuff from the lab and flushed it down a urinal in the mens room, which promptly blew itself off the wall. This story was legend in the school (happened a couple of years before my time). I don't even remember whodunit.
