Here he is everyone. It took him to comment 38 to get on here. Must have been perusing the rest of Free Republic for other EV articles and to tell you all that you know nothing about EVs and Tesla.

Tesla will save the world.

I bet 95% of the Tesla car chargers still work though.

Have you ever been able to prove that any of those reports were false?

I thought it was Mother Jones?

Ive been to a fair amount of car fires, never saw one explode. Couple of pops from the tires, a few times, and an occasional pop from the gas tank, never an explosion.

Maybe a better design would be to install in open containment vessels that could be flooded

Back to the drawing board..

Exactly ... and Tesla will definitely learn from it and continuously improve its technology, as usual. Tesla and its sister company, SpaceX, constantly innovate and advance technology. That's why so many of the top engineers and scientists want to work there.

“I thought it was Mother Jones?”

Amnesty International wrote the report. Mother Jones ran with it.

Like they lied about the Pinto dangers.

Still ticked that the lowly Mach-E is quicker than your R and it has less hp!

OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG.

so the electricity that is produced by “green energy systems”, where does that go? In storage units? The same types of storage units, using the same materials in your toy cars?

ROTFLMAO!

You must be one of those that think those electrical outlets in the home are “magic”.

Hydro storage: Yes, of course. I have no idea the volume of water needed to supply a meaningful amount of hydro-generated electricity but it must be tremendous.
The detractors point out the acreage needed or the size of huge tanks. If dual-using the water for recreation, I would think the water would be drawn off just when people might want to be boating or some such. I suppose if the lake were huge enough, the siphoning would not be a drawback.

EVs are so popular, they need government subsidies.

And what do your photos show? Cars on fire.

How many care fires have you been up close to and watched the fireman walk up to them, crack the hood and put a hose under the hood?

Nope. I know my electric comes from a fossil fueled plant and and that EVs, climate change and all your EV nonsense won’t change a thing.

BTW, how much did that 1400hp mustang cost you? Curious

My Roush has only 750 hp. I think MSRP was $83k.
