Nice try, but incorrect

After false claims that dead electric cars caused a traffic jam after a snowstorm in California, a fact check showed that the traffic jam was due to other reasons, including regular congestion and a blocked road.

The real reason was that “an abundance of vehicles all trying to leave South Lake Tahoe at the same time when U.S. Highway 50 reopened and Interstate 80 remained closed,” Kevin Kuckenmeister, a Caltrans maintenance supervisor, told USA Today.
