But ignoring the deadly boring troll, which is doing what they HATE, and back to the TOPIC as a NEW HAZARD with all electric heaps have is exposed - a LIGHNING STRIKE!!!!!


Electric Car Rampage After Being Struck by Lightning


An electric smart car caused great turmoil yesterday morning in Nashville, Tennessee, when it went out of control after being struck by a lightning bolt, leaving 8 people injured.

According to report, Mr. Martin Jones was driving the car under the rain, when his car was struck by a 120,000 amperes electrostatic discharge, radically supercharging his small electric vehicle’s engine. The Smart car almost instantly reached the incredible speed of 211 miles per hour (or 340 km/h), leading to violent collisions with 5 other vehicles in less than 30 seconds.

Rosie Albert, a neighbor who witnessed the whole scene, explains that the car could have killed many.

“It was just shocking” says Ms. Denver. “This tiny car was speeding like a Nascar in a residential area. And then… boom! It started crashing through cars, one after the other.”


The small electric car was completely destroyed after the incident, but the driver miraculously survived.

“All of a sudden, a white light filled the whole car and my whole body went numb”explains Mr. Jones, still shocked by the whole event. “I really tried to break, but my car just went out of control! All I could do was to try to avoid hitting any pedestrians. I have never been so scared in my life!”


The young driver was very lucky and suffers only from a broken leg and two fractured ribs.

His vehicle slightly bumped a first car before literally cutting a second one in half. It continued its rampage by hitting two other cars and violently ramming a minivan carrying four people before it finally stopped.

Despite the popular belief that the rubber in car tires protects the vehicle from being hit by lightning, hundreds of road vehicles are struck every year in America and dozens of people are injured or shocked.

When most cars are struck by lightning, the electrical charge flows around the outside of the vehicle, and the majority of the current flows from the car’s metal cage into the ground below.

Smart cars are however manufactured out of ultra-grade fiberglass, carbon fiber, and polyurethane composites instead of metal, which impedes electricity’s ability to flow through the car and carried the current to the engine and the driver.

DDH is a classic troll posting ANYTHING just to try to seek attention all the time.

So uneducated and inarticulate and technically bereft the poor soul couldn't argue his/her way out of a wet paper bag.


Oh the crashing joys of driving an unproven still experimental Tesla crasher which uses the drivers as guinea pigs

Silly old DDH is trying unsuccessfully to use the standard boring weak as water childish tactics used by all Greeny types.

Now another Tesla fire trap crashes and burns in Holland. This is how Tesla "tests" their still experimental "cars". Use drivers as guinea pigs.

Anyone silly enough to risk their life in a Tesla should wear one of those fireproof suits like the racing drivers use.

How long before these dangerous death traps are banned ?



Mystery surrounds Tesla car crash which killed one man
Society September 7, 2016


Yet another Tesla death trap joins that Great Car Junkyard up in the Sky.

Car maker Tesla is involved in investigating a fatal crash near Baarn on Wednesday morning in which one man died after his electric car hit a tree at high speed.

The crash happened at around 6am on a country road. It is unclear if the autopilot function on the car had been turned on and Tesla technical staff were called to the scene to carry out checks, broadcaster NOS said.

The electric car maker said the investigation is standard procedure.

‘Tesla is looking into the accident and will share the results with the public once the results are know,’ the company said in a statement.

The body of the dead man could not be removed from the car until the afternoon because the vehicle had been so seriously damaged and emergency service workers were concerned about being electrocuted.

Eyewitnesses told RTL news the car was on fire for at least 30 minutes after the crash.

Fireman also found it hard to extinguish the fire in part of the battery which came loose during the crash and ended up on the road, NOS said.

Emergency service workers are due to hold a news conference about the crash later on Wednesday.

Forget the Tesla. The jaguar i-Pace is now out and is superior in almost every way. And being built by an actual experience car manufacturer it looks and drives much better. And the inside actually looks like a car. And unlike the stupid Tesla it still uses knobs and buttons for some features meaning you dont have to dive thru screen menus to adjust your side mirrors or adjust the temperature.

Vastly better car.

The usual meaningless attention seeking Greeny dribble from DDH.

LongWeekEnd,

Wonder if the Jag catches fire and burns the driver when it crashes like the Tesla does ?

Rear seat room is lousy in the Jag and it takes hours to recharge.

Take up in Australia will be very slow as electric is an expensive pain in the neck inconvenience with long recharge time and no recharge points.

And the already struggling power supply network wouldn't be able to cope with lots of electric heaps sucking goodness out of the power network and increasing pollution from the power stations.

And as many Australians in cities live in large blocks of units or park on the street they will have no charging facility at home.

LongWeekEnd,

did you read the review here ?

Review    https://www.motoring.com.au/jaguar-i-pace-2018-review-111429/

Back seat leg room is not too good according to this review. Also the COMMENTS after the article are quite illuminating,


All electric "cars" have the hazard of the lithium battery which will explode if impacted as can be seen in the many refs quoted in this thread where the Tesla bursts into flames after a collision.

Also the Tesla battery sometimes spontaneously catches fire while being charged as a spectacular fire at a charging station in Norway proves.

Rumors are the BMW all electric could be pretty good if you like that sort of overpriced inconvenient thing.

As the public becomes aware of the fire hazard inherent in all the all electric cars they will stay away in droves.
