Reminder: please don't ask Dear Leader Elon why Teslas explode and burn dozens of times more frequent than the ~half a million Nissan Leafs on the road since 2009.
Per EV, per year, per mile, whatever. Dozens of time more frequent on fire / explosions ..
En onthouden: ScienTeslagy sekteleden krijg je doodstil door gewoon te vragen waaróm "veilige" Tesla's 20x of 30x vaker in fik gaan dan een Nissan Leaf ..
Veel te realistisch, gewoon twee EV's tegen elkaar laten rijden. En kijken bij welke de deur geblokkeerd is, en welke wél gewoon opengaat. En hoe je accu's eruit zien
Now this one was barely damaged by the crash. And still ignited, burned for 4 hours ..
If you have a real crash, or drive into another EV? And all your Tesla doors are suddenly (b)locked and your Tesla battery is all wrinkled and leaking?
It's Friday, so .. more #TeslaFireIssues updates in this ongoing Tesla 'safety' thread
Example no. 346: a controlled test, at low speed
Remember what I said about a Tesla scraping the sides or bottom. And your Tesla is .. (well, you know, 20x or 30x more often than other EV's)
Let me show you the pictures
Yup: a hardly dented battery floor, hardly damaged on impact. And still within seconds: kaboom
Now imagine those $1000 Tesla door locks (b)locked, as usual, even after a moderate crash
So, unless you kick the glass or have a fire truck ready .. ⚱️
Just to compare: here's the latest Tesla Y crashing into another EV
1/ Notice the Tesla door blocked?
2/ Notice the Tesla battery crumpled like a pretzel? Ready to explode, while the other EV in same test has ZERO door problems, ZERO battery deformation
Reminder: The Ford Pinto: "worst fire hazard car ever" Built in the seventies, so half a century ago. 27 Fire victims, taken out of production after 3.2 million Pintos
Tesla: 3 million built
Lets count Tesla fire victims ..
Tesla fire victims one, two and three.
(One and two unable to get out, and burned inside their Tesla. Third victim was pulled out by rescuers but died)
PS: Listen to the eye witnesses, watch the video + images, on yet another Tesla side swiping a wall (just the rubber from the tire on it, so no hard crash, just a 'swipe')
Bursting into flames immediately, all doors locked. Burned alive inside your Tesla
Tesla fire victim no. 10
Again: after your fautopilot steered you into a wall swiping it, and immediately bursting into flames.
Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 10
Tesla fire victims no. 11 and 12
Again: into a building, swiping it, and immediately bursting into flames. Both died, the driver trapped inside, the passenger was freed but severely burned and died shortly after.
Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 12
Tesla fire victim no. 13
Again: driver trapped inside, the fire was so intense Dutch Fire Brigade could only free the remains from the Tesla half a day later.
"NHTSA is aware of 38 cases in which rear-end collisions of Pinto vehicles have resulted ensuing fire. These cases have resulted in a total of 27 fatalities sustained by Pinto occupants"
Tesla veers into oncoming traffic. Side swipes a tree an bursts into flames immediately. Driver burns alive, unable to get out of his Tesla. Sounds familiar?
And the reason this thread is here counting examples of Tesla fire fatalities:
Almost twice the fire victims in 3 million Teslas/10 years than a Ford Pinto was cancelled for in the '70s after 3.2 million/10 yrs. As 'worst fire hazard car ever in history'
