So THAT is a “Chinese fire drill”!

I feel sorry for that poor innocent Audi parked next to the Tesla, minding its own business.

One has to question the timing of the incident.

Wow! I had an old Chevy station wagon which would bleed excess fuel into the exhaust (I think) and would have a delayed backfire about 20 to 30 seconds after I shut it off. Sounded like a shotgun.

Sounded impressive in an enclosed area, like a parking garage.

Usually the car doesn’t explode until you turn the key. This could be a big selling point, actually; because this way, at least the driver escapes with his life.

That TV camera was conveniently pointed right at the burning vehicle. Before it started burning.

But 40 Tesla’s burning up in China? Many more than the one much-hyped US gas car burning “on camera” by the (Staged) TV cameramen.

(Several US Tesla’s have also burned up on the road and while parked.)

In my life I’ve seen two cars catch fire while parked. Neither one of them made international news. They didn’t even make the local news.

China produces the competition for Tesla. How conveeeenient that on “Investor Day” this nearly perfectly staged footage of a Tesla exploding emerges. Parked right in front of the camera... perfect lighting. Why would you even place a security camera to monitor two cars?

And yet my dangerous guns can sit around for years and never fire themselves, catch on fire, or even pass gas.

Those things need built-in fire extinguishers. Now I have to remember to never park close to one. Not really a problem, no one drives them here in the mountains where their range would be around 50 miles.

Batteries can be extremely dangerous when ignite. Extremely high temperatures. It is a chemical fire.

So I can see that leaving one’s dog in the Tesla for a few minutes unattended is OUT OF THE QUESTION.

Oh come now, Teslas are no more fire-prone than Ferraris.

It’s that defective Commie electricity they keep feeding it.

There was a Tesla here that got on fire is a crash and the fire couldn’t be put out. Pouring water on a lithium battery fire is like pouring gas on a fire.

It happens. Legendary rock band Spinal Tap lost a drummer to spontaneous combustion.
