Tesla fire victim no. 41

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 41

And counting.

Image
Reminder why we're doing this thread. Comparing Tesla fire victims to the Ford Pinto. Ended after 3.2 million & 27 fire victims in ten years

Tesla after 3 million in 10 years: "safest cars in the world" (Elon Musk)

(PS: and zero financial interest here)

Tesla fire victim no. 42, in Denmark

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 42

(And counting)

Image
Tesla fire victim no. 43

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 43

(And, we keep on counting .. )

wsvn.com/news/local/dri…
Tesla fire victim no. 44

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 44

(And, we keep counting .. )
"Safest cars in the world" (Elon Musk)

* Except when you side swipe something, or scrape the bottom. Setting Teslas on fire faster than you blink an eye

And miraculously lots of those Tesla door locks somehow are blocked more often than in a Ford Pinto..
Tesla fire victim no. 45

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 45

(And, just counting .. )

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?

Image
Continuing with our 'Tesla vs Ford Pinto' thread.
Tesla fire victim no. 46

Burned alive in your $120k "safest car in the world". On your 19th birthday, also her last one.

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 46

(And counting .. )

Image
Tesla: we categorically deny that a Tesla side swiping anything is blazing with fire immediately! That is absolutely NOT true!

As you can see on this video it takes at least 0.1 of a second ..

Tesla fire victim no. 47

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 47

Though technically we're not sure if the fire killed him, or the tree did. Anyway: zero chance, in your "safest car in the world"

Notice we're nearing twice the fire victims those ~3.2 million Ford Pinto had in ten years .. ImageImageImage
Tesla fire victim no. 48

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 48 ImageImageImage
Please, please. ScienTeslagy fanboys/stockowners ..

I know you're not the brightest Twitter minds but you might want to stop foaming on the mouth telling me what I "missed on Axa"

And read what I tweeted on Monday (It's now Friday, dear Elon fanboys .. )
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'

Now, personally I don't know if you're too stupid to understand or too greedy, as a $TSLA stockowner.

I have ZERO financial interest in Tesla, or in any competitor. Or in ANY stock.

And I don't give a sh*t about buttheart people foaming from the mouth.
Another Friday. So onwards and upwards, with our Tesla vs Ford Pinto comparison:

Tesla fire victim no. 49

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 49

Tesla fire victim no .. 50

Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 50

(Two out of three "critically injured" died, one of them was in the Tesla on fire)

apnews.com/article/2baac5… ImageImageImage
It's Friday, so ..
After 50 deadly Tesla fire victims, vs 27 in a Ford Pinto

Tesla example 346 (again, since previous 346 turned out staged)

"Stamford officials are blaming a battery for a stubborn fire that destroyed a luxury electric car"

I wonder which brand electric car ..
Well, I guess we'll never know .. newjersey.news12.com/fire-departmen…
Onwards, busy day today ..

#TeslaFireIssues example 347: Image
Well, what do you know

Inside a petrol station. Tesla-on-fire example 347: parked, only to find out you don't have a car anymore when returning

Remember: don't ask Dear Leader Elon why this happens 20 to 30 times more often than with a Nissan Leaf. Per car, per mile .. whatever Image
No time to wait for the answer, since here's Tesla on fire example 348:

Jan 17, 2022, Tiverton:

Now you see it, now you don't .. Image
349 ..

Tesla on fire example .. 350

"A Mendener's Tesla Model 3 bursts into flames. As a protest to customer service, he puts the wreck in the yard at Tesla in Dortmund"

wp.de/staedte/menden…
351 (yup)

"Almost happened to me. Selling my Model S and never buying any Tesla product again".. Image
Tesla on fire, example 352

Please don't ask. We don't know either.
355:

"Tesla vehicle fires are exceptionally rare events, and in some cases, there have been zero Tesla vehicle fires in a quarter"

Wonder which quarter that could have been ..

Tesla on fire (which hardly happens, not more than maybe ~30 times more often than a Nissan Leaf)

Example 356:
(or maybe just a little more)

Tesla on fire, example 357:
To be continued by .. Tesla on fire, example 358

(You wouldn't have guessed) ImageImage
Good pace today ..

Tesla on fire, example 359: Image
On the bright side: the headlights worked, on this Tesla.
Tesla on fire, example 360:

(another bright side: not much left, afterwards .. ) Image
Tesla: you survived?!

So, which color do you want now? Image
Some more footage on a previous crash and Tesla fire: this was no. 302

"It didn’t take long for the car to catch fire after the crowd rescued the driver. The fire started from the front of the car and spread rapidly to the back of the body"

So, if he hadn't been rescued? .. ImageImageImage
361:

So, your Tesla went on fire? Well, I find it hard to believe.

That hardly never happens .. Image
362:

'Hardly ever' Image
Less than two months ago

Remember what I've been saying for years and years now on Tesla: you hit something with your Tesla side, and .. kaboom. Fully on fire ..

20 or 30x more often than a Nissan Leaf

(Also Tesla-on-fire-before-you-can-say-"safest car" example number .. 363)
Tesla fire victims 51 and 52
(And #TeslaFireIssues no. 364 .. )

Tesla: 52 people burned alive
Ford Pinto: 27 ..

"Both the driver and front seat passenger were pronounced dead of blunt force trauma and thermal injuries at the scene"

thecount.com/2022/09/18/tes…
So, @elonmusk ..

Why are 52 Tesla drivers burned alive, and none in over half a million Nissan Leafs?

While the entire Ford Pinto was halted over 27 people burned alive? (After ten years and 3,2 million produced)

abcnews4.com/news/local/dri…
No answer from Dear Leader Elon, on why Teslas burned twice as much people to death as the infamous Ford Pinto did, in the same ten years, with the same 3.3 million cars.

(While hardly any in a Nissan Leaf)

So here's #TeslaFireIssues incident no. 365:

Image
I wonder why. Twice as much Tesla fire deaths: 52

Than a Ford Pinto: 27

autoevolution.com/news/model-s-o…
Tesla on fire, no. 367:

autoevolution.com/news/tesla-mod…
And a Tesla starting to burn, no. 369:

(a little variety) Image
Some older ones.
Like 'Tesla burned to a crisp in your garage' example 370:

(Don't park your Tesla near your house. And never, ever in your garage)

businessinsider.com/february-1st-t…
Tesla on fire, example 371 .. ImageImageImage
No pictures.

But Tesla on fire example 372: Image
373 .. Image
374:

Lesson learned. Don't shoot inside your Tesla. Image
375 (nice pace .. ) Image
376: Image
377: Image
378:

(From UK 2020, no pictures, sorry .. ) Image
Not even counting this one, since it's probably arson.

(I've left out some ~two dozen Teslas on fire from this thread, because of suspected or proven arson .. ) ImageImage
Tesla on fire example 379

Florida Highway Patrol: "The Tesla south-bound on I-75, swerved onto the shoulder and into a ditch, struck a tree and caught fire. The driver could not escape from the vehicle"

Tesla: 53 burned to dead, alive
Ford Pinto: 27

bradenton.com/news/local/art…
Tesla on fire example 380

"A Tesla caught fire early Monday morning. The Tesla was left completely charred"

"Rescue officials said there was only one occupant in the vehicle at the time and did not survive"

Tesla: 54
Ford Pinto: 27

wsvn.com/news/local/dri…
Onwards, Tesla example 381:

Don't let 'm touch water, folks ..
(The sociopath won't pay for it)

382:

Remember: if your Tesla hits something with the sides, you're on fire. Instantly ..

Watch the video:

And I mean REALLY on fire ..

PS: noticed the driver being ejected (!) from his Tesla?

ImageImageImage
383:

What a coincidence, your Tesla touches water and .. ignites. And you can't get the fire out.

What do yo do? Simply ditch it, in a pond ..

ImageImageImage
Tesla on fire 384:

Well, what do you know?
Your Tesla touches water and .. kaboom! On fire ..

Tesla burned to the ground no. 385:

'So, you're saying it touched water? And then it started to burn suddenly? And the Mercedes parked next to it did not?'

'No, can't believe that! Than Elon would have lied. Surely not .. '

ImageImageImage
Tesla with slight overheating problems, no. 386:

'Well, it looks pretty normal to me sir.
Oh, it's looking like the bottom picture now?!' Image
387:

'Yeah, they do that sometimes. But nothing to worry, which color would you like now?'

388:

So, a car ran into you. On the side. And now your Tesla battery is starting to smoke? That's .. bad.

fireworld.at/2022/09/25/stm…
389:

'You need to calm down, sir. Okay, you saw smoke.
How bad is it, can you drive it here?' Image
Tesla, burned to the ground 391, 392, 393 and 394:

(Just to speed things up a little. Don't want this to take all day .. ) ImageImageImageImage
Tesla, slightly heat damaged, no. 395, 396, 397 and 398: ImageImageImageImage
Tesla, moderately damaged from thermal events numbers 399, 400, 401 and 402: ImageImageImageImage
Tesla, some with minor exotherm-reaction damage, numbers 403, 404, 405 and 406: ImageImageImageImage
Some more Teslas, slight usage traces from exposure to unidentified heat sources. No. 407, 408, 409 and 410:

(No warranty) ImageImageImageImage
New followers:

On Fridays I usually spend some time on one of my four ongoing Tesla threads. (Well, I try to. But so many Teslas on fire, and so little time .. )

#TeslaFireIssues example 411:

countynews.tv/irvine-fire-er…
"Tesla vehicle fires are exceptionally rare events, and in some cases, there have been zero Tesla vehicle fires in a quarter"

(Tesla 2019 'safety report' - which keeps 'forgetting' to say how many Teslas/yr burn to the ground. Or which quarter that was)

412:

"According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the Tesla sedan slammed into the minivan, flipping over and bursting into flames"

(4 died, 2 burned to death in upside down Tesla)

So
Ford Pinto: 27 burned to death inside
Tesla: 54 burned to death inside

wflx.com/2022/10/19/wit…
"I was face to face. I tried to crawl up underneath the car to try and do something there but the fact it was exploding people were yelling, 'the car is going to explode, the car is going to explode.' I couldn't physically reach the kid that was in there" ImageImageImage
Example 413, and wow: another one burned to death in his Tesla, yesterday. On a ... parking lot

Of all stupid ways to die

So Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 55 people burned to death

ImageImage
Tesla burned out examples 414, 415 and 416:

"Drive units & battery are sealed"
(Elon Musk, June 19, 2016)

"Your Tesla can function as a boat for brief periods of time"
(Elon Musk, November 30, 2018)

This month, when your Tesla gets wet:
Teslas waiting to burn to the ground ..
(So they're parked apart, at large distance)

Funfact: the record today for a Tesla re-igniting within months is .. four times. Four different times ..

(Musk is a sociopathic narcissist. Dear Leader Elon lied, again, as usual .. )
It's Friday today. The day I normally do some work on one of my four Tesla ongoing threads.

Tesla on fire, example 417

A really bad one. A mother + 3 children died, crossing the road straight into an oncoming 18-wheeler.

So Ford Pinto: 27
Tesla: 59 people burned to death .. ImageImageImage
Yet another Friday, in this ongoing electric Pinto thread.

So .. you know what that means: Tesla on fire, example 418

Only the day before yesterday, November 16
You're driving the Interstate 80, and suddenly ..

It's gone ImageImageImage
Fire men:

'Normally we use 500 gallon (1900 liter) on a car fire. Now on this Tesla we had to use: 12,000 gallon (45.000 liter)'

"extinguishing this fire would require additional tankers as the vehicle would continue to reignite and burn fierce at times". ImageImageImage
"In total it took crews nearly two hours of continually applying water as the battery would begin to reignite and hold high temperatures"

"This (Tesla) burnt so hot and long that if it was not for the rims you might not even of know it was a vehicle"..
facebook.com/morristownship…
Funfact: statistically serious (lethal) accidents happen up to 100 times less often on new expensive cars.
(Compared to average age older cars)

Except ..

Except one brand electric cars. Guess which brand

Pinto: 27 deaths by fire
Tesla: 60 burned alive
denver7.com/news/investiga…
Police officer: "The passenger door was able to be opened. Why didn't the driver not open his door?"

"He was awake and alert. But was unable to open the door .. he did not survive"

(Burned alive in his Tesla victim no. 60) ImageImageImage
Video (without close up images, no gory details)

Reminder: this was the 60th Tesla burned alive victim.

(The Ford Pinto production was stopped at 27 victims)
PS: I'm not going anywhere. Not leaving Twitter

So if my account with the 4 different Tesla threads (2000+ Tesla files) would suddenly 'disappear' you know what happened ..

Tesla on fire, example 420 + 421:

'Yeah, they do that sometimes'
'So, which colors would you like now?'
More Teslas on fire, example 422:

Do NOT park your Tesla at home in your garage, folks. Or even near your home.
To be followed by (who would've guessed) Tesla on fire example 423:

You're driving in your 8 months old Tesla taxi in Hamburg, Germany. Then suddenly ..

Tesla: 'Yes. They do that sometimes. But look on the bright side: now you can choose another color ;)' ImageImageImage
424:

Your house burned down? Yeah, it's so annoying when they do that. So, which ..

Now. No need to hit me! ImageImage
425:

Your Tesla was being towed, and it caught fire?

Yeah, lots of people make that mistake. No, you should always buy a new one. Now, which color would you like?

426:

'So, same model again? Which color did you have, I can't see it anymore ..' Image
427:

'Which color would you .. Oh, you don't want a Tesla anymore? Strange. Safest car in the world, we always say' Image
428:

No? You don't want another one, are you sure? Image
429:

'Safest car in the world, we always say' Image
430:

'Sorry for your loss. Although it was the safest car in the world ..' Image
431:

'Partially complete' Image
432:

'Yeah. Well ..' Image
433:

'Burned, some parts usable. Maybe' Image
434: Sorry, mijn fout.

Was ik deze toch haast vergeten.

Beste @MonaKeijzer (draadje)

Wéér retweet je een anoniem PVV haataccount. Weer geloof je klinkklare onzin, laffe haathitserij

1. Slechts 1,8% (~800 van 44.589 studenten) bij UCLA is moslim

2. Daarvan is 92% (zeer) liberaal of gematigd, en slechts 8% conservatief

1/x Image
2/x Dus onbenullige ~64 (!) moslim studenten vd 44.589 zijn conservatief. Ofwel .. 1,4 promille

(En 92% (zeer) liberaal of gematigd liberaal)

Ook wel logisch @MonaKeijzer aangezien je wéér een bekende hoaxvideo retweet (via dat anonieme PVV haataccount) snopes.com/fact-check/ucl…
3/x Als je als no. 2 van bekende partij als BBB niet eens in staat bent zulke domme haathoaxen te doorzien @MonaKeijzer, zou ik eens goed nadenken

Of je moet doorgaan, keer op keer zulke PVV haathitserij rond te pompen, notabene op 4 mei ..

Voor alle Geert-gelovigen:

Noem ook maar één bevriend partijtje van de PVV in EU waar géén antisemieten in zaten.

Bij de "vrienden" en "helden" van Ome Geert uit z'n honderden loftrompet tweetjes erover.

(Neem alle tijd)
Ik ben bang dat er weinig antwoorden komen, van Geert-gelovigen, op deze simpele vraag.

Geen punt, help ik ze wel:

1. FN (Tegenwoordig vanwege alle schandalen rond de corruptie door Mw Le Pen, antisemitische wappies en racistische homofoben heet 't RN)




Image
Image
Image
"We bouwen volgende keer wel weer een oven".

Zie je wel. Drievoudig wegens antisemitisme veroordeelde FN politici houden van grapjes. Niks antisemitisch of zo ..

Ja, 90% van 30 daders die GESELECTEERD werden, door die onderzoekers

'Vergat' Geenstijl per ongeluk te vertellen, natuurlijk. Kan gebeuren, net als de honderden soortgelijke eerdere 'vergissingjes' bij dat Geenstijl ..

(RT door oa PVV & Wierd Duk)



1/x
Image
2/x Waarom er in de roomwitte PVV al een dozijn vrouwenmeppers & meisjes vanaf 14 jaar-aanranders rondliepen?

Statistisch ~50 keer méér dan in welke politieke partij ooit ..

Nahh, dat vergeten onze Geenstijl helden ook telkens te melden. Ook 'toeval'
3/x Die 2 Geenstijl jongens zijn ook zo druk

Net als PVV. En sommige journalisten wiens naam ik niet zal herhalen, omdat Wierd Duk al genoeg voor paal stond

Dus dan help je ze maar weer een keer. Met feitjes
Zoals ~50x méér PVV aanranders/vrouwenmeppers

Nope, niks "biochemisch proces"
Da's klinkklare onzin, en stond niet in het onderzoek

Het kan er op twee manieren ingekomen zijn, beste @lientje1967. Maar altijd met .. hulp van boeren. Bij drugsproductie van synthetische drugs.

Ik leg het uit, draadje:
Als sinds 2018 weten we zeker dat boeren meewerkten aan drugsproductie, op grote schaal.

Hoe weten we dat zeker? Omdat (afval van) amfetaminen toen al werd aangetoond in mais.

Mais wordt weer gebruikt als veevoer, drugs komt in de mest, ergo ..

2/x

eenvandaag.avrotros.nl/item/drugsafva…
Er waren mestputten waar boeren drugsafval in loosden, tegen betaling

Maar gezien de enórme productie in NL van amfetamine, MDMA, methylamfetamine en, om ontdekking te voorkomen, werd drugsafval geloosd op velden met mais

Zie het 2023 WUR rapport:

Wil je kernenergie-lobbyisten en Twitter wappies helemaal gek krijgen?

Gewoon vragen wat dat nou kost, kernenergie in de EU per kWh, all-in

(Zoals windenergie, op de honderdste cent nauwkeurig, vaste prijs voor 'tig jaar, all-in)

'JIJ SNAPT ER OOK HELEMAAL NIKS VAN!1!' BLOCK!'
Drieduizendvijfhonderddrieennegentig soorten drogredenen gehoord. Van wappies en lobbyisten

En maar één ding niet: gewoon een vaste prijs voor 'tig jaar EU kernenergie per kWh, all in.

Zo gek joh ;)

35+ cent per kWh gegarandeerde prijs voor de nieuwste EU kerncentrale in aanbouw? Hinkley-C, over 35 jaar??

Kijk het contract maar, beste wappies & lieve mondschuimend boze lobbyisten

Plus €300 miljard opruimkosten?! Die eeuw gaan duren??

Goh .. jeetje

Stel. Je laat een Tesla Model 3 de vangrail schampen

Net zoals je dat al eerder teste op 'n 2002 Kia (nee, geen tikfout, barrel van 'n benzineauto, én 22 jaar ouder)

Welke auto zal dan hele vangrail 'openritsen', met 59% méér impact, en een idioot hogere kans op dood? Image
2/x

Mondspugend boze ScienTeslagy sekteleden in 3, 2, 1:
'MIJN TESLA IS DE VEILIGSTE AUTO JONGUHH!!!1!!'

Rustig jongens, veeg ff de schuimbelletjes uit je mondhoeken en gewoon kijken, bij 100 km/h:

22 jaar verschil ;))

XXX

3/x

Dus .. een 22 jaar oude Kia heeft amper schade in de passagierskooi. En had 59% minder impact

En bij 2024 Tesla onder dezelfde (!) omstandigheden moet je blij zijn geen vangrail dwars door de passagiersruimte te krijgen ..

Kijk nu wat beelden terug:
