Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏<p>"The Vistra fire in Moss Landing caught everyone by surprise.

Unlike both Vistra facilities, the Elkhorn’s batteries were not in buildings – they were in an array of 256 Tesla Megapacks on 33 concrete slabs.</p><p>In the early morning of Sept. 20 of that year, just over five months later, a fire broke out in one of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tesla</span></a> Megapacks at the facility, prompting the closure of Highway 1 and a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents.
