Smoke and possible fire behind a headlamp led Tesla Motors to recall a third of the 1,300 electric sportscars it has sold so far...
So far, Tesla has sold about 1,300 of the expensive Roadsters, which cost $109,000 a piece. This recall affects 439 cars.

Just give the handout to the Democrat trial lawyers directly so they can contribute it back to the DNC for this November’s election.

Interesting! Their production levels are so low it does have the smell of a pyramid scam.

Ah, those were the days - when men where men, women where women and a little fire in ones sports car could be taken in stride without the need for any silly recalls. LOL! Or gas gauges. Found out mine was broken when I got the Spit. Didn't need it ... I could see straight down into the tank to see how much was left.

Old man Tesla is spining in his grave as these idiots have smeared his name with a POS that has bad electrical wiring.

I just installed an exterior outlet for one (in August) - I had to custom order & retrofit an enclosure for their plug - they hadn’t designed one yet!!!!

Thanks for the information. I wondered about federal funds. All of this “Green “ movement smells of taxpayer fraud.

My old Triumph Spitifre had fires almost daily ... I never got a recall on it. Id just blow out the fire and keep going. LOL! Was that Lucas Electric? I'm sure that you know he has been sarcastically nicknamed the "Prince of Darkness".
Seen at the 2008 Autumn Classic car show in Morgan Hill, CA:

Any cook can tell you it’s possible to generate lots of smoke in a kitchen without any flames appearing.

What the hell does this mean? Smoke only comes out from something when it's BURNING, this is the definition of a fire. No, smoke often comes out of something when it's smoldering ... a "fire" would imply open flames. Wiring in particular can overheat and emit smoke without ever actually catching fire.

Awesome! I want one. If you'd Freepmail your contact information, I can make some inquiries about them. The Autumn Classic will be back in Morgan Hill again this year. (I believe it's scheduled for later this month.) If I can't find one there, I should be able to find someone who carries them for you.

“Lucas, Prince of Darkness!”
According to Lucas, a gentleman doesn’t go motoring about after dark.

Smoke is what make electronics work. Once the smoke escapes, they no longer work.
