I'll take my diesel,thank you very much.We just finished an 810 mile road trip...about 720 miles of perfect Interstate conditions and 100 miles of horrible driving (pouring rain,stop & go,getting lost,etc) and we got 47MPG. When I filled the tank when we got home the "distance to empty" reading on the instrument cluster was 820 miles.

Can't do that in a Tesla...and mine's never caught fire either.

“..Do Teslas come standard with a fire extinguisher?...”

Special going on right now. With each new Tesla purchase the driver gets a custom ASBESTOS SUIT!!!

I carry 2 fire extinguishers in my 66 landcruiser at all times, though I did rewire the whole thing. Will brag and say my wiring is bad ass though. Been a year and a half and did not pop a single fuse, and I isolated the ignition wiring so you can pretty much destroy most of the wiring and the fuse box and it will still run...so guess I did better than Tesla. The lighting and accessories have essentially unlimited power available with no measurable voltage drops

It would take a coupla tons of wet sand to put out a lithium fire like that. Squirt water on it and it’ll explode bigger.

The necessary “fire extinguisher” would exceed the towing capacity of a Tesla!
