'Get back, she's gonna blow!'

You never know when these things are going to light off like a roman candle.

Chemically, those batteries are somewhat similar to the incendiary bombs used
to firebomb Dresden and Tokyo. Lithium serves as the stand-in for magnesium.

Safe and effective. Get your EV vaccination today.

“Tesla Inferno” l sounds like a good name for the next model EV.

If Teslas are so wonderful, why doesn’t he drive one?

These batteries are ticking time bombs and can self-destruct due to improper storage, software glitches, etc. If I had an EV, I wouldn't keep it in a garage.

Musk is a people person imho...Will these continuing disasters make him shut down his EV market? I think so...

[Tell It Right]

Tesla means:

Too

Still
Liberals
Adore

It's not about the EV's, it's about the EV sales. Think portfolio.

[Fresh Wind]

Hmmm. You might be right.

[Responsibility2nd]

No Thanks?

Even if a burning Tesla tries to put itself out in the lake?

Darn Right.

I will Never own / drive / ride in one of those infernal things.
Nope.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

“”unexpectedly caught fire””????

Is there a time and/or place when it is expected to catch fire??

Inquiring minds want to know.

Light to medium weight branched liquid hydrocarbons are a far safer, time-tested, and convenient energy storage strategy for motor vehicles and will never go away despite the government’s best efforts to demonize an entire sector of the economy.

Pretty dumb to have lithium and any alkali metal around water.
