    Yes. Karmic as well. Patron shitty billionaires, burn to death in their shitty cars.

    If you don’t know how dangerous lithium ion batteries are when punctured you are kind of a smooth brained fucking moron.

      I’ve had a pretty ugly car accident with my previous EV. Not a tesla. My car was totalled and I’m alive by miracle (I was in a traffic jam, an articulated lorry’s driver was distracted, didn’t see the line of cars and hit mine full force because I arrived just before it).

      My car didn’t catch fire. I was severely injured, but the car didn’t catch fire and the doors were opened by someone from the outside without any help from me.

      I agree that you shouldn’t patron shitty billionaires, but this kind of accidents happening only to teslas do for a reason.

        This is the most important point: is there anything Tesla should have done differently to get a result like your or was theirs severe enough that you can’t really do anything

          My car was destroyed, the firefighters came to isolate the battery before it caught fire because the damage was extensive to everything. Still, my car had normal handles, so when the car was hit and everything went to shit, the doors still worked and I could be evacuated from the vehicle. Everything worked as intended, airbags, safeties…

          In the Tesla accident, the first thing that didn’t work was the damn door handle. This is the most basic thing of a car: a functioning door. And they fail at that, and not just once, this is commonplace in teslas.

            It’s really not commonplace, it gets attention because of the horror. In particular I’ve seen several times cars on the side of the road ripped open by jaws of life. Apparently those were also too damaged to get people out of the doors. Where are those headlines?

            I’d rather see results of a fair investigation whether there was anything that could have gone better, rather than internet speculation.
