Battery Fire at Rivian Factory | TTN Clips

so here's one of those stories that gets a lot of media attention because it's about something exciting but it's really not that important yeah last weekend there was a battery pack fire at the rivian factory in normal illinois the normal fire department said normal firefighters responded to the rivian automotive plant at 100 north rivien motorway at 10 38 this morning to the report of a battery pack on fire inside the building when firefighters arrived there was a battery pack in thermal runaway in a battery testing area in the southwest side of the plant where the batteries are built for the rivian vehicles firefighters connected hoses to standpipes inside the building and extinguished the battery pack fire and then continued to flow water on the pack to keep it cool to prevent further thermal runaway from occurring bloomington firefighters were called to the scene to assist with manpower due to the size of the facility and off-duty normal firefighters were called in to handle other calls during the incident now a lot of news places wanted to make this into a thing because of the timing with rivien's stock price falling which fell along with the rest of the market i'm gonna have to say i wish we didn't have to cover this yeah it's a bit of a non-story i mean it happened in the battery testing area the one place you might expect that to happen no one was injured and the fire didn't spread the area also had the proper water lines for the firefighters to use now i've been pretty down on rivien in the past but i don't see this as anything to hold against them right i mean there's plenty to be down on rivien for their negative margins low production numbers but yeah this is a non-story wish we didn't have to cover it but yeah wanted to set the record straight unfortunately all these news places no if it bleeds it leads or if it burns it earns hey everybody thanks so much for watching now you know clips you can watch full episodes of tesla time news on tuesdays and in depth on fridays just click the link down below and head over to the now you know channel
