Hey jules instead of insult then Paste.
Try putting in your own words something, maybe try debating something u have posted
When u just keep pasting crap and never talking about it, to be honest it doesn't make u very credible

socko only knows two keys on the keyboard. Copy and Paste !!

The Greeny types who don't have a clue what they are talking about are competing to see which one is the worst.

You'd think they would stop embarrassing themselves by showing how little they know or understand.

Technical stuff is all Greek to a Greeny.

But ignoring the pathetic attention seeking of the normally ignored technically obtuse Greenies and back to the fiery explosions of Teslas.



Tesla Under Fire After Explosive Crash

A 2015 Tesla Model S collided with a semitrailer in Williston, Florida.Florida Highway Patrol

Tesla has come under fire in the wake of an explosive crash in Indianapolis involving a Model S battery-electric vehicle that took the life of a young woman and her boss.

The automaker had previously taken steps to prevent the lithium-ion batteries used in its vehicles from inadvertently catching fire, but the crash raises questions not only about whether Tesla has gone far enough, but whether Tesla’s battery technology is inherently safe. Lithium-ion chemistry came under close scrutiny last year as a result of fires and meltdowns involving Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smartphone.

“Had she been in another vehicle she would have been alive for me to yell at her for driving after drinking,” Jon Speckman, the father of victim Casey Speckman, said during an interview with the Indianapolis Star.

EXPLOSION UPON IMPACT
The 27-year-old was driving her boss’s Model S battery-electric vehicle about 1 a.m. on November 3, when they appear to have swerved to avoid a car driving in the wrong direction, crashing into a tree and then a parking garage in Indianapolis. The car almost immediately exploded. Speckman, who was found to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.21 percent — nearly triple Indiana’s 0.08 percent limit — was killed by the crash, but 44 year-old Kevin McCarthy died as a result of the subsequent explosion and fire.



Analyst Dave Sullivan, himself an electric vehicle owner, said he wasn’t entirely surprised by what happened. “Like a gasoline vehicle, an EV’s energy source can be explosive when it gets into a serious enough accident,” said Sullivan, an analyst with AutoPacific. “I don’t know if there’s an answer to the explosive nature of lithium-ion when those batteries are disturbed.”

OTHER INCIDENTS
This is not the first time Tesla has come under scrutiny as a result of fires involving its vehicles. The maker’s Model S was involved in several other well-publicized incidents in 2013, most of the fires triggered by road debris unexpectedly puncturing the battery pack. Tesla quickly responded by adding a new titanium shell that reduced the likelihood of such punctures.

Separately, CEO Elon Musk downplayed the risk, noting that there are “thousands” of gasoline-powered vehicles that are involved in fires every year. Referring to one of the Tesla incidents on a Washington State highway, he said in a blog post, "Had a conventional gasoline car encountered the same object on the highway, the result could have been far worse.”

Tesla told NBC News, “We have been deeply saddened by this accident and have been working closely with authorities to facilitate their report. While it can be difficult to determine the precise speed of a vehicle in such a crash, the observed damage and debris field indicate a very high speed collision.”

In a 2013 blog post, CEO Musk also declared that, "For consumers concerned about fire risk, there should be absolutely zero doubt that it is safer to power a car with a battery than a large tank of highly flammable liquid."

Despite the comments made by Casey Speckman’s father, it is difficult to say if any gasoline-powered vehicle would have behaved better in the Indianapolis crash, according to several auto industry insiders who were reluctant to discuss the incident on the record. While cars don’t routinely explode like they do on TV and in movies, there are, indeed, many fires that result from high-speed crashes. And witnesses to the Indianapolis crash told authorities the Model S was going well above the speed limit.

Shortly after the investigation into the fatal crash, Indianapolis Fire Department Battalion Chief Kevin Jones told a press conference, "If you have collisions at high rates of speed with impacts like that, regardless if it’s a traditional power vehicle via gasoline or hybrid or all electric, you can see a fire in a vehicle like that or severe damage. And so to say it was simply because it was an electric vehicle, you can’t say that because we’ve seen collisions that are non-electric vehicles with just as bad of damage or fire.”

Who is paying you to post this crap sh1thead?

The dumber than dumb Greeny type DDH has a partner in Red Neck who just abuses.

Their combined knowledge wouldn't fill a teaspoon.

How can they try to rubbish FACTS ? Oh yes Greeny types always try to deny and lie as FACTS just get in the way..

The old normally ignored as a waste of space DDH is trying SO hard to get noticed with a bit of contrived Greeny type dribble. Didn't work.


Now another Tesla burns to a crisp in Yorkshire this time



Catching fire is certainly yet another reason the all electric fad will disappear.

Anyone brave (or foolish) enough to risk life and limb driving an all electric heap should wear one of those fireproof suits that the racing drivers wear.

Why do Tesla electric cars keep bursting into flames and colliding with other vehicles?
05/17/2018 / By Ethan Huff



Are they the present embodiment of the “vehicle of the future,” or are they flawed death traps that could kill you or others at any moment as they traverse roads and highways? Many people are asking themselves this disturbing and dichotomous question after three Tesla cars reportedly crashed or exploded – or both in a single week’s time.

The first Tesla incident of this trio occurred in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where a Tesla Model S experienced a “horrific crash” involving three young people. The vehicle reportedly slammed into a wall and caught fire, its lithium-ion battery bursting into flames.

Several of the car’s passengers were apparently thrown from the vehicle, which resulted in two deaths and serious injuries for the others. A neighbor heard the violent crash and immediately ran out to see what was going on, only to discover the fiery inferno of epic proportions bursting forth from the electric vehicle.

That same week, another Tesla Model S reportedly rammed into a stopped firetruck in Salt Lake City, Utah, while going 60 miles per hour. This particular Model S was equipped with Tesla’s semi-autonomous autopilot feature, though reports aren’t clear as to whether or not this feature was engaged at the time of the crash.

Again in that same week, all the way across the world in Germany, yet another Tesla car experienced a horrific crash that, like the incident in Ft. Lauderdale, resulted in the vehicle bursting into flames on the A2 highway near the town of Bellinzona. The 48-year-old driver died after being trapped inside the vehicle, during which time he presumably burned to death.

All three of these incidents were actually preceded by still a fourth incident involving a Model S in Austria that crashed and burned – though in that case, there were no fatalities. But the circumstances were similar to the other three incidents that occurred later, mainly that the vehicle crashed and immediately ignited into flames.

Back in February, there was actually a fifth incident involving a crash and explosion of a Model S under similar circumstances in Indianapolis, which resulted in the woman driver and her boss both dying. Like the other incidents, there was simply no escaping the fiery inferno, which basically reduced the vehicle to a melted pile of metal and rubble.

Tesla electric cars are all at risk of “thermal runaway,” say fire experts
If the sheer destruction of each of these self-driving vehicles in similar high-speed crash situations isn’t enough to make the case against driverless vehicles, then probably nothing will. But an even bigger issue with these autopilot Tesla cars is their use of very large lithium-ion batteries, which really don’t belong on the road in volatile situations where they have the potential to explode.

Following the most recent crash and explosion of the Tesla Model S in Germany, officials from the local fire department pegged these batteries as a very serious problem. Most gas-powered vehicles, when involved in a high-speed crash, don’t spontaneously combust and burst into flames because they’re not prone to what’s known as “thermal runaway.”

As explained to the media by the Bellinzona police department, the violent impact of these batteries with other solid material during a high-speed collision situation can cause them to experience a “rapid and unstoppable increase in temperature.” This causes them to explode, making them extremely dangerous, even in everyday driving scenarios.

Perhaps this is why Tesla executive Matt Schwall recently resigned after being the company’s “primary technical contact.” Schwall has since jumped onboard with Tesla competitor Waymo, which some are speculating may suggest that “[Tesla’s] troubles with government regulators may be set to escalate.”

ONE OF TESLA'S MANY RECALLS, THEIR CHARGERS WERE SETTING PEOPLE'S HOMES ON FIRE

The normally ignored off topic LostSnail appears briefly and thankfully disappears.

Now ignoring the waste space and back to the TOPIC which seems to be meaningless to the Greeny types and just an opportunity to try to seek attention.




Tesla Model S Fire Discussion Thread
Discussion in 'Model S' started by Btr_ftw, Apr 1, 2017.


Court Jester Location:Mass  Apr 1, 2017
After looking at article after article about Tesla fires, I'm starting to see a pattern here. They seem to mostly originate from the same place in the car. The front of the car... (duh) but more specifically the front drivers side.

Full disclosure here. I have owned more than a couple Teslas and some of them were fire salvaged cars... and guess what? ALL of the fire car's I've owned the fire originated from the front of the car, specifically the drivers side. Ok no biggie. Then I see a new thread the other day about ANOTHER Model S that caught fire IN THE SAME LOCATION. I know that there is a high concentration of wiring harnesses up front along with the fuse boxes but something is up, why does it come from the front, and why the front driver's side?

Something has to be going on here. I understand that my sample size is too small to make a conclusive answer, but given that Teslas don't catch fire very often I feel that I'm not too far off base.

So lets analyze some Tesla fire trends shall we?


No accident, no impact, happened while driving fire originated from front drivers side.



France Fire, no accident, happened while driving, car made a loud noise. Fire started from front drivers side.



I personally OWN this car. This is the car that caught fire in Canada. Guess where the fire started? Front drivers side. No accident or impact, just caught fire in the garage



Another one of my personal cars. Guess where the fire started? THATS RIGHT THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE



And most recently.. no impact, not driving, no accident.... Can anyone please help me determine where the fire started? Might be the front drivers side but not sure





I reallllllllllllly think there is something more here.

The usual off topic attention seeking waste of space from the utterly boring would be Greeny type DDH.

And now how most Tesla accident prone heaps end up. Something must have gone wrong because it didn't catch fire!!!
