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.

People have varying degrees of sensitivity to electricity. Some people can’t live in a typical house, they have to have special shielding or they feel sick all the time.

Wasn’t that in a Yugo.
Can’t lump all in the same
basket....
What you find tolerant
may be physiologically
difficult for someone
else.
Mold of any sort has ever
caused any type of reaction
with me, but my wife
reacts in a totally
different manor when
exposed. The same with
motion sickness.
Your BS tag is warrantless.

It was her 50 covid boosters.
LOL, sounds like a song...
And they drove with pride
As the fumes ate into their brain
In their coal powered ride
With virtually signaled pain
The spiel check has a sense of humor.
Wow. If I saw that movie I couldn’t remember.
Amazing.
I had the displeasure of seeing Serena Williams, her clod husband, and daughter - all inappropriately dressed of course - get in and out of a Tesla pickup a few weeks ago.
Everything about it made me sick.
Short sellers, lib idiots who now hate Elon and now lawsuit seeking scum.
If I sell my EV is that a hysteresisectomy?
👍😃
Battery-only EVs: 190 years old and still not ready for prime time.
This is why everyone should carry a window-breaking tool. Some are small enough to go in pockets and purses.
“Stop using an outhouse when indoor plumbing may suffice.”
Poorly written, but the sentiment is obvious. “Those darn redneck luddites won’t agree with me”
“Saul Goodman (lead character in Better call Saul) had a sibling with that particular issue who walked around covered in aluminum foil.”
back in the day people realized that tin foil was actually effective, Today you cannot even buy it.
Coincidence ? I think not
I spent years looking for a good old fashioned roll of tin foil.
