Tesla Semi catches fire on I-880 with no crash, closes freeway for 10 hours

A Tesla Semi caught fire on Interstate 880 in Hayward, California, on Tuesday evening, and there was no crash. The electric truck’s lithium-ion battery burned long enough to keep the southbound freeway closed for about 10 hours. The driver got out unhurt. But a Class 8 electric truck catching fire on its own, in traffic, is something Tesla and its growing list of Semi customers need to explain. The driver told officers the truck caught fire and that they didn’t know why. No other vehicles were involved. Northbound reopened Tuesday night. Southbound took much longer. CHP initially warned that the battery could burn for 15 to 18 hours, but crews beat that estimate, and CHP Hayward posted that all lanes were open at around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. Hayward is different. Without a crash, the focus shifts to the truck itself: the battery pack, the high-voltage system, the drive units, or…

Michael Penix Jr.'s leap to franchise QB status should validate Terry Fontenot

The Atlanta Falcons finally have their franchise quarterback in Michael Penix Jr., and while that makes Kevin Stefanski's job easier, he shouldn't even be the person happiest because of this development. That honor goes to former Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot, since Penix's lack of success was partly why he was fired in the first place . Even though the Falcons signed Kirk Cousins for four years and $180 million just six weeks before draft day, Fontenot became enamored with Penix as a prospect. He saw the elite arm talent and was ready to call his shot on him, shocking everyone drafting him with the eighth pick in the 2024 Draft. And while this pick originally offered a collective "WTF" from the NFL world, nobody can say Fontenot was wrong anymore. Cousins last just two seasons in red black and has flamed out after his hot start to 2026 with the Las Vegas Raiders, while Penix…
