Tesla Plunges After Video Of Fiery Crash - Business Insider

Tesla Says Car Fire Began in Battery After Crash

I'm simply posting this because, as we know, ANTZ, Big Bro..and the other haters, want to bash vaping/PV's by all the media coverage on a few batteries that had some issues. But ALL batteries can have issues! I believe we can prevent PV problems by being educated and handling with care.

But kind of hard to avoid debris in the road if your driving in a battery car..just say'in. Where's all the media to BAN THESE DANGEROUS CARS?!?! LOLOLOL.

Wait what?

A car with a volatile element caught fire after a catastrophic crash...

Not like most people fail to realize they are driving around with 10-20 gallons of "fuel air bomb" fluid either

there are hundreds of gasoline cars that catch on fire everyday...but the big news is the one battery that catches on fire (and bravo to the firefighters, good job using WATER against electronics. that never backfires against class C fires) after an accident that was bad enough for something to crack the case of the battery.

having watched a lot of action shows on t.v., I know if you stare at a car in a cool action movie way, it will explode. luckily, i'm incapable of such awe inspiring stares.

The funny thing is the battery pack of that Tesla isn't burning - it's located underneath the car, from about the middle of the passenger compartment further back. I'd be curious to see what actually caused the fire... I doubt it was battery related.

And no, I will not apologize for my semi-rant. We're much better than dis!
