Insurance rates for these are going to start to go through the roof.
And then people will stop buying them (as they did other cars with eventual problems).
And then the environmentalist nuts will get even MORE upset.
But by then we’ll be past the 12 years they said we had to live so we can laugh at them further.
The article described it as a small car. They didn’t mention the make or model. However, they did say this:
“In September, Breitbart News reported that another Tesla caused major issues after catching fire…”
So maybe it was a Tesla, maybe it wasn’t. I’d like to know what kind of EV it was.
I’m putting together a solar power system here and I have decided to place the lithium batteries outside and not inside because of the fire risk.
This house has a large outdoor wood furnace that supplies hot water to the house and heated water for the heating system. I don’t use it anymore as it’s too much trouble to deal with feeding the wood into it...
I’m putting the lithium batteries, the switching power supplies that charge the batteries and the big inverters inside the furnace...what safer place in case a fire breaks out.... I will just run 12vdc, 24vdc and 120vac into the house from the furnace.. along with a cat6 UF cable for data and control. I’m going to route the wiring in/out of the furnace through it’s chimney...
A bit unhandy I will admit but if those batteries touch off maybe the house will survive...
If Trump had not been cheated out of office I would not be installing solar.
be prepared
Teslas don’t have a metal roof. Also, if it had been a Tesla you can bet that would have been in the title in huge letters. They are trying to imply it was a Tesla when it really wasn’t.
Who has to pay for the hazardous waste disposal?
Pushing these EVs is such a horrible idea. There are too many downsides and few upsides. The novelty of owning one wears off eventually for people who use them as everyday drivers.
BAN electric cars!!!!
And BAN politicians who want to mandate them!!!!
Hmm kinda like the clot shots...
They are taking planned obsolescence to a whole new level.
Wonder what the insurance is on one of these rolling fire bombs?.
A little history, the article is from 2008...
