Lye and oil makes soap, not lye and borax. The key in all these recipes is lye and oils, not lye and borax for anyone who isn’t going to click on the link and start mixing these chemicals. Lye can be real nasty if you don’t know how to handle it. It’s one of those chemicals where the safety precautions are there for a reason, not because it’s normal practice.
Borax and lye are both cleaning agents.
That’s what I thought, but Tesla is claiming that it was coolant.
They’re cleaning agents individually; I can’t speak to what they are when combined.
Looks like they are also a cleaning product when combined.

But of course that doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t also be used as a coolant.
From what I understand, neutrino detectors involve what is essentially a swimming pool full of dish soap.
That’s why Teslas are expensive and shitty. They’re diverting effort and funds to neutrino detection.

Lye and rich lady fat if one believes Tyler Durdon
To be fair, the article does start with similar warnings.
Yeah, I’m just warning people who aren’t going to click on the link and instead start mixing lye and borax and wiping the counter with it
In that case, thanks for doing that.
Presumably they were cleaning the coolant lines, same as flushing a vehicle radiator
