A dozen Tesla cars burned at French store, arson is suspected amid global protests
-
I do feel bad for people who bought Tesla EVs a few years ago, before mask-off Elon.
-
Great great! Carry on!
-
I can see your point. Buyer's remorse is real. Although, the cyber truck is an especially easy target because of its high price, low quality, and poor styling.

Na na~ nanananana~ na~ na~ na, nazi cars are not for meeee
(To the tune of Katamari on the Rocks)
-
Beautiful.
-
Before or after he called someone a pedophile for not showing deference to his idiotic cave rescue idea? He's been publicly questionable since at least 2018.
-
be responsible! don't burn down buildings or vehicles while people are inside
-
I guess it depends on how long you keep a car, personally I usually go for a decade.
I don't have a Tesla though, just a 'little' Skoda Yeti
-
I was gonna say "a severe understatement"
-
No. Not in the slightest. All you did was give them insurance write off.
Cars staying with no one buying them, THAT hurts Tesla. Musk? Nah, he's checked out since Teslas and EVs aren't exactly something right gives tow shits about... At least until he needs another payout, but that's not why he became a president of USA for! Infinite money.

The French really do love to set things on fire though. It's part of their national identity.
-
Yeah actual murder would be a bit of a dick move.

I've had my car for 15 years. Also let's go to yeti, I'm Ship of Theseusing it to the end times. It had new tires, new suspension, new fan belt, new battery, new rear wiper motor, new windscreen, and a new wiring harness.
It's also been driven into a tree and brick wall on two separate occasions (not by me). On the radio has never worked.
It's rather like an unreliable tank, I can plow through anything as long as you throw money at it afterwards.
-
I saw one a few months ago and I don't think any two panels were square with the neighboring panel. They were all at least four or five mm out of alignment.
So it's no surprise that water gets in and they catch fire, it's not really a solid object, as much as a collection of loosely associated pieces.
-
Nah. You would need to actually puncture a lithium cell
-
Afaik, moisture getting into batteries/accumulators is the main cause for them to bloat and to bad, which is a problem with teslas, as can be seen by problems arising from just being in rainy weather often (UK)
-
You're not wrong but that takes a lot of time. Its an oxidation reaction happening.the fastest way to start a volatile reaction in a sealed lithium battery cell is to pierce the exterior container
