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"

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

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 ..

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

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".

"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)

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 ;)'

424:

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

Now. No need to hit me!

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?

https://twitter.com/CynthiaSNN/status/1588335075313168384?s=20&t=OCpzXYkdkKQOrIfYl1v8Xg

426:

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

427:

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

428:

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

429:

'Safest car in the world, we always say'

430:

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

431:

'Partially complete'

432:

'Yeah. Well ..'

433:

'Burned, some parts usable. Maybe'

434: Sorry, mijn fout.

Was ik deze toch haast vergeten.

It's Friday, so .. you know the drill

Tesla on fire no. 435

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

(Tesla 'safety' report)

Which always 'forgets' to say how many Teslas burned to the ground

So strange

Lethal accidents happen up to 100 times less in expensive young cars. Compared to old cheap cars

(Average EU/US car age: ~12 years)

Except
Except one brand. Guess which one?

Hint: they always 'forget' to mention how many burned to the ground

https://twitter.com/jkaplb/status/1594577090023546880?s=20&t=Ho61nAgY_EmpCWSKjNBrKg

Now, why on earth would Dear Leader Elon ONLY compare young expensive Teslas to average ~12 year old cars?

(with up to 100 times more risk on lethal accidents .. )

Mhhhm ..

Anyway.

On, with Tesla on fire no. 436:

And .. a 2021 Tesla Model Y on fire no. 437:

"Primary Damage: Engine Burn" ..

Example of Tesla on fire no. 438:

Los Angeles, Thanksgiving 2022:

Tesla: Yeah, that happens sometimes.
So. Which color would you like now?

Tesla on fire 439

Tesla: So "your Tesla hit a trailer AND the barrier, and then it started to smoke. You had to call firefighters"

Yeah. But.. you could've been 'burned alive in my Tesla no. 61' so it's not that bad actually

Which color do you want now?

Tesla on fire, example 440: (sound on)

Teslas (re) ignite quicker than a Ford Pinto ever did. And much more often.

Funfact:

The world record for a Tesla (re) igniting: four times. Within a couple of months. One Tesla.

Tesla on fire, no. 441:

gelderlander.nl/video/producti…

Everyone got out, this time. Including the horses.

No Tesla doors locked. Makes a nice change after 60 people burned to death inside their Tesla. (Nissan Leaf: zero)

https://twitter.com/MaartenKaskens/status/1602709373779951617?s=20&t=Vn1iroipfEj8Kd9BCoPLRQ

Tesla on fire no. 442:

New expensive cars statistically have up to a hundred times less risk on (grave, lethal) accidents including fire.

Compared to average aged (~12 years) and older cars.

Except .. one brand. Guess which one.

https://twitter.com/olizavala/status/1602103863590653952?s=20&t=oby0oQb-Qz_GK7K_s7bIgw

Now do you understand why Dear Leader Elon & his stockboys only compare crashes to AVERAGE (~12 years) cars?

And refuse to say HOW many Tesla crashed? Or burned down ;)

Or hides hów many people burned alive in their Tesla? (60, while a Nissan Leaf has .. zero)

Tesla on fire no. 443:

It's a Model X, very well maintained.
(Any offers over $5 will be accepted)

Tesla on fire, no. 444

'So, you were driving along and suddenly your Tesla went up in flames? Okay, quiet down sir. No need to shout so angrily at us. First things first:

Which color would you like now?'

Yes, we appreciate you're a little euhh 'upset' but we're here to help you, at Tesla. Plus, on the bright side: the door wasn't locked. This time.

So, a red one again?
