A fire broke out in Tesla’s Fremont factory casting workshop, and the preliminary cause of the fire was identified as the high temperature of the injection tube (containing molten aluminum) of the die-casting machine igniting the oil near the equipment. The fire department has arrived, and Tesla employees suggest extinguishing the fire with sand instead of water to reduce equipment damage.

It can be preliminarily determined that the on-site staff violated regulations and placed flammable oil near the high-temperature area of the die-casting machine. The Model Y production line will be shut down for another period of time, and if the equipment is seriously damaged, the shutdown time may be even longer.
