I’m pretty sure even Wile E. Coyote wouldn’t get in one of those suckers to chase after the Road Runner.

Warning you that it’s about to catch on fire gives you time to pull over, stop, and get out of the car. Other cars don’t give you that advance notice.

Other cars don't need to.

Other cars do indeed catch on fire.

Gee - that’s funny.

When there’s a report of a car fire, you don’t hear people automatically saying “Must be one of those darn Range Rovers again!” (Insert your favorite non-electric brand.)

Strange how the public hears “Fire!” and thinks “Tesla!”

(The Spice?!? The Worm?!? Is there a relationship?)

Justin Beiber drives a Tesla.

Your argument is invalid.

Here’s my prediction, which could turn out to be wrong: in the long run, the Tesla Model S will have a lower fatality rate than any gasoline car, ever.

Only because it will remain seldom bought and rarely driven.

"Who is Justin Beiber?"

He's a blogger whose lists were too short.

Here’s a project particularly suited to your “special skills.”

Why don’t you make a list?
*(No, no, no...)*
Make that *several* lists.

You could list all the various vehicle marques sold in the US in descending order by sales volume.

Then within each entry you could list all the incidents of these various vehicles catching on fire.

Then you could have a sub-sub-list of the injuries and fatalities associated with each fire.

Then you could list the percentage of these occurrences in relation to their sales volume.

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. (/Yul Brynner)

AND!!! Just think of all the updates! Oh! The Huge Manatee!
