--- Quote from: RJSV on December 26, 2023, 02:56:07 am --- I'm trying to see this in light of all the criticism. That is, all the criticism of the reviewer / host of the video. Sure his comments can be harsh....but he is talking about ARROGANCE, basically, and in light of some very real and dangerous differences, as that cement truck is basically conducting testing...testing better done in, um, err, PRIVATE! Ok, it's irritating the way some of the video is delivered, but please don't think I care, or not, if the dude is ego driven. His message really is the arrogance of that particular EV producer, and the 'Green / Woke' aspects put it over the top (arrogance-wise). Took me a minute to understand his points made regarding Transportation Safety and driver safety, and how absolutely critical such care and proper attitude. I'm seeing such reckless additude approach in other venues, these days. That host, ego or not, points out some concepts, like having proper tests (in remote areas) as absolute necessary, and thats not happening that way, but on public roads. Sorry, but the video host (ie Auto Expert) is pointing out some serious-sss shhi. I'd take (his) ego over the arrogance. --- End quote --- He is also arrogant! |

But that's just me. |

We’re ALL arrogant in different aspects. Who cares. Human nature. If you’re rude (and civil and kind, and a real man) you say sorry. |

And I'll ask again: Where's the reporting of the other 4600+ fires which simply must be occuring? --- End quote --- Many of those stories I'm reading from that site, they died from the high speed crash. There is even one article that says "Tesla hits fire hydrant and burns" then I read the link and there was no mention of a fire at all... just a DUI driver that hit a tesla. If anything, this would be an argument that we should limit all production car top speeds and acceleration, which I would be happy with. |

It's not really surprising that a Tesla catches fire when involved in a 100+ mph crash. Many cars will, and even if they don't, very few people are making it out of that car alive, so is it exactly a problem? That's the issue I have with that website. Tesla catching fire in a garage spontaneously or whilst driving = that's bad. Tesla being driven recklessly, crashes, occupant dies and vehicle burns = meh, Darwin's thinning the gene pool. Yet they don't distinguish the two nor provide an easy way to filter them. |
