Who insures those damn cars?

I prefer the smell of gasoline

Now we can add hot and humid days as risk factors,

And sunny and rainy days and cold days and foggy days and snow days........................

Maybe the same companies which insure rodeo performers.

I hope they know these things can burst into flames several days after the initial fire.

[Red Badger]

They have burst into flame while in the junkyards..............

I remember the “Spontaneous Human Combustion” humor from the ‘70’s.
This could be fun.
Oh and I like Tesla but don’t own one.

They just raise the premiums on everyone’s cars to pay for it.

Hmmmm.....let’s see....the DemocRATS want to end use of hydrocarbons. So, will the future airports be full of battery-powered airplanes? How often will they ‘spontaneously combust?’ If the spontaneous combustion happens in flight, will every passenger have a parachute? Instead of the emergency oxygen mask deployment, will a parachute automatically appear?

No doubt the DemocRATS / Ruling Class will have their own planes powered by the evil hydrocarbons. Last year Hussein had 3 huge gas tanks installed on one of his compounds.

I think it is hilarious that EVERYTHING pushed by the left is a literal dumpster fire.

[Paal Gulli]

Big hairy deal. Same thing happens with ICE cars all the time.

Everything the left touches turns into a nine line free fall cluster fluck. Everything.

Speaking of "Hot Wheels"...

Another goes out in a blaze of glory.

“Who insures those damn cars?”

Something tells me that insuring EVs based on an actuarial bases is not permitted, otherwise the owners would be SCREAMING about the cost, just due to price of replacement parts and the down-time for even minor repairs, let alone the fires.
