They obviously weren’t enough. https://twitter.com/andysoullinux/status/1712232395049422942 https://twitter.com/andysoullinux/status/1712232395049422942

Edit: from the article: > Fire crews were on scene within four minutes, and the fire was put out within an hour. Pretty sure the cybertruck is NMC too, and this is in addition to the fuel canisters and explosives in the vehicle.
