"...no casualties were reported"

Hopefully nobody was injured! Sad news.

Additional production delays expected.....

Not a "fire". It was a "highly localized thermal event". Automotive lawyers hate the term "fire".

Ok, it makes sense now, your a Prius owner. I get it now . . .

Why are we not talking about batteries catching fire Tesla-like?

Maybe because there's no evidence? All we really know is that the sprinkler system used water to put out the fire. Water does not extinguish a lithium fire - it makes it worse. Lots of flammable solvents are used in manufacturing - it's entirely possible that this had nothing to do with batteries.

Oh good! As a Rivian owner in waiting, I feel better already!
