It is not 6 out 300,000. It is 6 out of how many EV's were submerged for some period of time. That failure rate is much higher than 6 out of 300,000 since the 300,000 number is all vehicles damaged in any way.

They can be made to not catch fire when submerged in salt water. 6 is too many.

I think those percentages are under all conditions. In flood conditions the batteries are far more likely to catch fire than an internal combustion engine. I am a big fan of EV's and own one but this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed going forward.

I think what he means is that he will move towards the black hole as opposed to the other way around (in relation to other objects) as the orbit decays.

Us yelling at it is like you standing in NY and yelling at me in LA, but actually that is probably a million times louder and faster.

Interesting to notice that the distance from earth is increasing faster than the distance to the moon is decreasing.
