      I thought lithium battery fires were caused by thermal runaway. Does piercing a lithium ion battery cause thermal runaway?

          Okay that makes sense. I wondered why the person I replied to specified metal.

          I guess I had a bad recollection of Tesla adding plating to the bottom of their vehicle because (to my bad recollection), general non-Metallic road debris was piercing the battery compartment
