The car hit a rock and caught on fire.

There is a sales benefit if I ever saw one.

[PGR88]

Taking a Tesla ice-fishing. OK, sure.

[OKSooner]

Well gee, what could go wrong?

[posterchild]

Did he catch anything?

[woodbutcher1963]

Hey, hold my Chardonnay.

[dsrtsage]

Its like Raaaaayiiiiiin on yor wedding dayyyyy

[MeganC]

“Did he catch anything?”

No, but his car caught fire.

[Revel]

That is right. Electric cars are as deadly as electric chairs....LOL

Insanity for fools.

And how did the rock get out on the lake ON TOP of the ice?

[arrogantsob]

Pneumonia.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: we’d have to guess these remains are bound for the bottom of the lake once springtime melts the ice. ::

In Michigan, once that vehicle hits the water after ice-out, you get a hefty fine from the DEQ and are court ordered to remove it at your own cost.

Marine salvage ain’t cheap.

How much carbon was emitted into the atmosphere of our dying earth?

[Steely Tom]

I read somewhere that fire departments and EMTs are having to get updated training because if they use the Jaws of Life on an electric vehicle they can cut through wires carrying main battery current to the motor and get electrocuted or burned by a rapid discharge.

[jazusamo]

Anyone get any barbecued lake trout?

[tallyhoe]

That burned really well for being Electric. Does it come in a gas engine model too?

As many idiots who drive their Rams on northern Lake St. Claire will attest to. You can’t leave your junk on the bottom of the lake.

Well if you decide you don’t like it and prepare to jump out, hitting a rock might be a way to get your insurance money :)
