If I was the nafarious type...

I'm sure one could buy an old used Tesla that barely works.

Then drive it into the tunnel with a gas can and lighter on the passenger seat. Have a friend stand in the way blocking others from driving in behind you.

I wonder what would happen if it caught fire in the tunnel?

Would sprinkler systems take over? Would the tunnel burn and collapse as you walk out the other end so it's never used again?

Good thing I'm not that type of person....

Gas can would leave the wrong kind of residue and would exonerate the Tesla as a victim of a false flag eco terror attack. Use the inherent problems with lithium batteries to start a fire. A lithium fire is one of the types of fire that firemen will straight up avoid until the dedicated response unit arrives. A lithium fire will not leave survivors. It starts with an explosion and gets worse from there. Given enough time this happen naturally in that tunnel; it doesn't need help.

You don't bring your own tesla to the tunnel. You use the ones they provide which probably all have the speed limit mode enabled.
