EV owners say their cars are making them SICK - as driver claims her Tesla caused her nose bleeds, 'debilitating' body pains and hair loss

EVs may be safer for the environment but owners claim the vehicles are causing harm to their health.

There are growing reports of electric car drivers suffering motion sickness, dizziness and nausea from the vehicles' braking and acceleration systems.

And a former Tesla owner has claimed that she experienced nosebleeds, hair loss and 'debilitating' body pains while using the vehicle she purchased in 2021.

While she was not entirely sure the Tesla was at fault, the Georgia resident and said her symptoms disappeared after selling the car.

Tesla owners have had to trade in some models because the air conditioning systems were prone to mold, which can cause asthma-like symptoms

Tesla has been accused of being the 'worst offender' for causing motion sickness from its one-pedal throttle because they can be 'very jerky and really abrupt,' Ed Kim, president and chief analyst of AutoPacific told ABC News.

EV pedals mimic a brake pedal by allowing the vehicle to slow down or stop just by lifting your foot off the pedal, removing the need to switch between the brake and throttle like you would in a gas-powered car.

This means that there's less wear and tear on the braking system, but also means the car will jolt forward or backward depending on how quickly you press down or lift your foot off the accelerator, which drivers wouldn't experience in a gas vehicle

inhaling mold spores can initially cause an asthma reaction, prolonged exposure can develop nosebleeds, blurry vision and headaches, among other symptoms.

Oh come on! This is total B.S. Both of my vehicles are EVs. They have their good points and their bad points but overall they are the best vehicles I have ever owned. I bought them for their technology. I could give a rat’s ass about climate
crap. Stop using an outhouse when indoor plumbing may suffice.

Sound system: I warned you about telling my secrets to other people.

Woman, panicking: Let me out. Open the car door.

Sound system: I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Once again, Mel Brooks is about 45 years ahead of the game.

Maybe just the funk of being a liberal EV driver?

EVs are a piece of S—t. EVs did not cause her illeness. Is this illness a case of “Show me the Money?”

Yep. Trump was once a media darling and made bank for NBC and the media in general. I wish Musk could be VP.

A nose bleed is not as bad as being roasted alive(another option with Evs).

That graph of values of used Teslas explains everything. I love Elon Musk, Space X, and now X formerly twitter, and most of what he does. Oddly his acquisition of twitter was a great economic cost to Elon, it was probably the most important thing to preserving our constitutional nation. Thanks Elon.

I do not like electric cars until they are competitive in a free and non subsidized market by government. When the electric car is cheaper to run at at a competitive price to internal combustion engine car and without a government subsidy I will buy it.

2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. Batteries under the rear seat and ventilation through the compartment.

EV car commercials will now have to include all the side effects of owning and driving them, just like all drug commercials do.

So, EVs will now have to include car sickness and possible battery blowing up and causing sudden death...

A new career-path is being created, with lawyers now advertising to get millions for EV sickness and EV incapacitation and EV deaths, etc.

Lawsuit lottery syndrome is one of the few maladies curable via legislative rather than medical means.
