How many Teslas do you think were onboard?

A carrier ship containing a shipment of electric vehicles sank in the Pacific off the coast of Alaska on Monday. According to The Wall Street Journal, The Morning Midas suffered a fire on June 3rd and had been adrift after its crew abandoned it. Yesterday, it finally went under.




EVs are notorious for exploding, catching fire and locking their occupants inside after their computers malfunction.


Per CNN, the carrier contained “70 fully electric and about 680 hybrid vehicles,” and it wasn’t “immediately clear if any of the cars were removed before it sank.”



A spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard said they have vessels monitoring the situation, and currently, there is “no visible pollution” from the incident.


Yeah — because it's all at the bottom of the ocean!
