A "LECTICAL" fire?!? Puh-lease...

You're incorrect...In a September 18, 2022 interview Austin Fire Department Division Chief Thayer Smith said, according The Independent. “Teslas may take up to 30,000-40,000 gallons OF WATER, maybe even more, to extinguish the battery pack once it starts burning...."

In some instances a car fire might be triggered by a car battery, but once it starts burning THE REST OF THE VEHICLE serves as kindling and has to be addressed with water or foam or both...

"With an electric-car fire, you need water. That might sound obvious, but in many cases, modern fire departments use foam or dry chemicals that are better than old-fashioned H20 at suppressing fire. While dry chemicals are great at putting down ordinary electrical fires, they may be ineffective with a fire stemming from a car's lithium-ion battery. Water is the best approach to a lithium-ion battery fire."
