This happened to me (luckily not on the highway). Teslas, and probably other EVs, have a pyro fuse which physically severs the connection between the main battery and the rest of the electric system in the case of overcurrent or an accident. When that happens it completely bricks the car (to avoid nasty things like battery fires), and the fuse has to be completely replaced. The 12V system is separate, so things like lights, infotainment & door opening buttons continue to work. The pyro fuse quite literally blows up with an audible thud when this happens. |
