Happened in Paris. Lithium batteries...when they get in the 200°F-250°F range, go into a RTE (Runaway Thermal Event). When it happens, Run Away!!. This will become more common as more lithium battery EV's are on the road.

“Pure luck that thing was parked. If that was rolling down the highway it would have been a completely different story.”

It was rolling down the road full of passengers.

Mother Jones lied about the Pinto. We see the same here with the demonization of EV’s.

It's interesting to note how much Mother Jones is supportive of the "Climate Crisis" and anything related to that "struggle". Support for the most extreme state legislation curtailing internal combustion engines is just the tip of the iceberg for them... they've already reported on activists in Europe vandalizing SUVs to help "the cause". That sort of thing will be coming here very soon, I fear.

If you want to bring up Mother Jones and its influence on the Pinto's reputation, you should be honest about the connection to the EV topic. Those same people (Communists) are now advocating for the transition to EVs, not demonizing them.

I didn’t bring up the Pinto.

Lithium batteries kill many more people than nuclear plants. Why, then, aren’t we scared of them?

I now see the confusion. You took my reference “same here” to apply to Mother Jones. My reference should have been clearer that “same here” was referring to HERE and not MJ.

Gasoline kills more people than batteries. Why, then, aren’t we afraid of gasoline?

I understood your meaning clearly enough. You were directly comparing the legitimate criticism of EVs in this forum to the deliberate actions to smear and cripple a U.S. automaker by a long-known Communist organization that has been a festering sore on this nation for decades.

Just a few years ago, that sort of comment would've put you on the fast track to an account suspension.

What’s an R ?

/-)

Or couldn’t you opine even one area e.v.$ outperform so you just made up a fictional ambiguous “ R” .

Your life , if you aren’t just a digital bot which with every post of yours I suspect more and more, must be a sad empty regressive world void of meaning, morals, joy, satisfaction.
