Elon for sure will have some excuse but I guess this is the price of progress as bugs get ironed out of these high tech software/devices. Seeing more Teslas on the road now however the business still cant make a clear profit and relies on selling regulatory credits to make the books look good.Thats some fire , lithium of course reacts with water and can cause fire, bit like driving with a couple of bombs onboard.Brother inlaw has a hybrid Rav4 and raves about the economy......think I'll stick to something of that ilk next time I buy a vehicle.

Watched an episode of Grand Tour in which Richard Hammond crashed a new electric supercar. Burst into flames.Afterwards they said that the fire re-started itself 4 times over the coming days and kept having to be put out.Each time it was because a new battery cell got damaged/failed and restarted the fire.There is A LOT of energy in a lithium battery.Have a look at some of the videos of phone battery testing that goes on. Scary. Quote Selected
