I think they are pointing out that the actual battery pack didn't burn, just the flammable cargo. When you say an EV exploded, the implication is a lithium fire, which would be a LOT bigger and harder to put out.
Anything discussion that involves Musk, even tangentially, is spammed by his protectors. People are making sure Musk looks good.
Conversely, everything involving Musk also gets spammed by his hatedom.
I haven't seen that.
Note that his post saying that HackerNews is full of Elon haters was downvoted to negatives.
Can you respond to this at the object level rather than trying to meta-analyze why people are saying things? I'm still not following why anyone thinks this is inaccurate.
