Its great to have go carts powered by 5000+ Batteries and all
In case anyone else was wondering, the article does not say how many car fires constitute “an alarming number.”
The Tesla battery plant is just down the road from me. A few beers spread around in the right places and some very interesting tidbits emerge. The place is in total chaos.
2 predictions:
1) Discovery will be very interesting.
2) Tesla learns the hard way that the cover-up is worse than the crime.
And don’t forget the fires in the stores that were using Tesla solar panels.
There is not enough lithium on earth for electricals to be viable... well, if they burn up to boot...
The amount of hype around this bull sht is really irritating, with all these people driving the thing claiming it is a great vehicle blablabla... with surprisingly very little reports on its deficiencies,
Conclusion, more subsidies needed immediately......
What do you get when you cross a dumpster and a Tesla??
Answer:
CALIFORNIA!!!
These huge batteries are the elephants in the room with so-called environmentally sound cars. My daughter got about 100K out of hers in a hybrid, and then it went bad. It shut down every system in the car, obviously, but it also required a complete rehaul of the braking system. Cost 8K, but she never got the final bill (it could have been more) because...
She bought a new car...a gasoline one.
On the + side you get a free bag of marshmallows when you buy a Tesla.

[the stock was up so much yesterday, the premarket action — up another couple of bucks — doesn’t seem like it will hold. But the stock is known for volatility]
Longer charge times and reduced battery storage were not mentioned in the ABC report. Here is more info about the petition:
“Tesla installed a “software-induced” limit on the total number of usable kilowatt hours on the affected vehicles, limiting the ability of owners “to charge the battery cells up to the natural and normal amount of approximately 4.2 volts, by placing … battery capacity limitations, by decreasing the charging speed … and by reducing the performance in terms of speed,” according to the charges.”
