that it`s not the first time this has happened to a Tesla battery in
Australia. There was this fire at another end of the country in 2021:

led to a propagating thermal runaway event and the fire."

A major incident would have burnt out all the battery units on the
site. Things can go wrong when you are putting together a new facility
from scratch - my younger brother talked about anticipating all the
problem he could imagine so that he`d have time to deal with the problems
he hadn`t managed to anticipate.
That link is one that I found and posted in my response to Ricky.
You seem to have decided to poach the link and pretend that you found
it for yourself.
You really do seem to a senile failure to appreciate quite
obviously fatuous your claims are.
