On a side note, they must really protect the passengers well. :)
Side note two: Good thing it didn’t use a Mr. Fusion.

My information may be old, but my understanding is that they use a ton of laptop batteries.

Alright, let’s move on to hydrogen then. ...or better, yet, nuclear power for cars.

some of the hundreds of batteries from the vehicle broke windows and landed in residences I guess she blowed up real good.

Wherever I go over 100 mph, if I lose control the only thing I’m gonna hit is bushes and maybe a guardrail. I would never do it in a populated area.

destroying the vehicle, a power pole and starting a fireIs the power Pole okay?

I am not sure if there are a higher number of these incidents or I am just perceiving it more. There sure does seem to be a lot of odd accidents with Tesla cars like the one we had near me where a guy ended up in a pond. It’s not clear if the auto driving feature is at fault or if it’s the driver not being skilled enough to handle cars with acceleration and speed. It’s likely all of the above. I don’t hear much about fires while charging anymore.

Funny, how the commie journalistas complain about Teslas, but they don’t complain about the battery powered cars and SUVs driven by Bye-Den-voting, suburban women.
[Making fun of the way the commie propaganda punks pronounce Biden. Those foreigners and perverts sound like small children.]

- WTH powers that thing,, rechargeable AA batteries??? - Just did some checking. It looks like the Tesla battery pack uses cells a bit larger than AA.
The 85 kWh battery pack contains about 7100 cells.

Look. Tesla’s are mean. In fact, demonic.
They actively seek to hurt people, kids and pets.
When a Tesla wakes up, the first thing, the very first thing it thinks is how can I get my “unsuspecting” driver to ruin their and others lives.
Tesla’s love property damage.
