update:
To reiterate, the legacy news headlines are false. This fire has nothing to do with Tesla and our Megapacks are operating well. https://t.co/4gxa2AKIa8

I’m betting thermal runaway event. Does not look like a single battery pack, rather multiple megapacks.
Very toxic.

It’s the largest lithium battery storage facility in the world, unfortunately.

MOSS LANDING, Calif. (AP) — A major fire burning Friday at one of the world’s largest battery storage plants in Northern California is sending up flames of toxic smoke, leading to the evacuation of 1,700 people and the closure of a major highway.
The blaze in Moss Landing started Thursday sending towering flames and plumes of black smoke into the sky. But by Friday morning, the flames and smoke had significantly diminished in size, Fire Chief Joel Mendoza of the North County Fire Protection District of Monterey County said.
