The official Model X first responders guide suggests 3,000 gallons of water (https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/2016_Mod...).



I mentioned this elsewhere, but our fire engine is only 2000 gallons, the tender is 3000. That means it needs an entire tender's worth of water for the battery alone.

A tesla car fire on a highway or rural area will immediately require far more apparatus support than normal.
