First Responder Guidance: Tesla Cybertruck Fires & Disabling Procedures

Electric vehicles like the Tesla Cybertruck introduce unique challenges for first responders. After a collision or fire, high-voltage components, powered seats, and laminated glass can complicate extrication and suppression.

Key Safety Guidelines
High Voltage Awareness: Not all HV components are labeled. Always wear appropriate PPE and double-cut the first responder loop.
Battery Safety: Do not attempt to open the HV battery or 48V battery. Use large amounts of water from the bottom to cool the battery enclosure. Do not use firefighting foam and never submerge the vehicle. Monitor battery temperature for at least 24 hours as re-ignition is possible.

Vehicle Access & Extrication: Doors may not unlock from the outside. Powered seats and steering may be inoperative. Laminated glass and stainless-steel construction require specialized handling.

Thermal Monitoring: Use SCBA and thermal imaging cameras to monitor heat and vapor hazards.
