That’s definitely true, but battery technology has advanced quite a bit. Cells can take a bigger beating without issue compared to early Tesla’s.

- cellular 6y agoJust connect the airbag sensor to a resiStor load to dump the charge upon an impact. Pretty simple really.
- Animats 6y agoEr, no. Dumping 75KWH as heat requires a big resistor bank. One of these[1] could dissipate the power from a fully charged Tesla battery in 45 minutes. That's probably about as fast as you could discharge one without it catching fire. And you'd need the battery cooling system working.

- cellular 6y agoI meant for capacitor dumps.
