We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars

TruthAboutCars;

A Tesla Model S suffered a total meltdown after being connected to one of the company’s proprietary Supercharger stations in Antwerp, Belgium. While details are scant, local reports state the driver simply went to charge his automobile and returned to a burning wreck a short time later.

  2. Tesla stock peaked in Dec. 2018 ~ $376 and is now trading under $190, a drop of almost 50%.

    1. Check my posts … I WARNED “early adopters” like Un-thinking humans to DUMP their Tesla stock last year. It’s OBVIOUS the “market” for their virtue-signaling eco-vehicle has peaked, and will crash on autopilot

    1. I doubt anyone suckered into an electric once, is willing to admit the mistake. This dude is likely doubling down. Who knows, maybe that was his fourth Tesla already …

      1. This IS Belgium after all … and we all know what Belgium is known for … and I’m not talking about beer! Bureaucrats on autopilot …

  3. High Current charging has no protection when an internal battery flaw is the result of overheating… Blow Torch, flame thrower…..Stay away from charging Stations…. FOOLS

  4. Regardless of how you feel about electrics, don’t buy a Tesla. Your car will be designed by people with no automotive experience, built by people with no automotive experience, inspected by people with no automotive experience. Once every few months the owner strolls through the plant and fires anyone who may have developed some experience. They also don’t pay their suppliers.

  5. Tesla may soon become a preferred vehicle for the religion of peace… you don’t even need explosives.

  6. Remember, as your Tesla does a high temperature immolation with you in it, the doors likely won’t work.

  7. “By our estimation, plus an investigation conducted by the NHTSA (with help from General Motors), lithium-ion battery systems seem to be about as safe to use as gas-powered cars in terms of overall fire risk.”
    – The Truth About Cars

    Well, gas-powered cars don’t typically catch fire spontaneously and unpredictably.

    Put them in the garage of an apartment or condominium building and this could be a disaster waiting to happen.

    Second, isn’t the NHTSA a government agency, thus making its objectivity about electric vehicles suspect, what with governments actually subsidizing the purchase of electric cars?

  8. Not sure I would ever trust a car that demands computer updates as a possible fix to prevent it from turning into a melted blob of aluminum and toxic waste. Much like Boeing and their Max 7 , but on a less destructive scale, it would seem that computer technology will remain a crap shoot until computers are completely in charge without human intervention. If you’ve seen “Terminator”, …. you know where the story goes from there. Considering the entire effort to go green is done in the name of junk climate science and baseless panic , wouldn’t it be ironic to unleash the end of human kind with robotics while the Planet continues on its merry way just warming and cooling as it has always done ? This scenario is every bit as valid as Co2 causing runaway temp rise. Just a matter of shifting the blame from Al Gore to Elon Musk. …. 97% of pundits would agree and the education system would be in full compliance . Laugh at your own risk.

  9. Isn’t true that it only takes about 4 of these ‘babies’ to be plugged in simultaneously and the power will go ‘out’ in the whole area?

    Nice job! / s

    Get used to a honeymoon salad for dinner, lettuce alone.

  10. I love it….carry on Tesla.
    I Live in a Condo – should the unthnkable happen and one ends up parking beside me…there would need to be some serious consideration given by the Condo Board to approve its parking in an underground garage.

    And I sure as shit would not park beside it….

  11. It is not only teslas, all electric cars once they catch fire are very hard to put out
    they require at least 5 times more water than when a gasoline car is on fire

    then hours or days later the batteries can re start the fire again, which is why in certain cities firemen put electric cars in water for one whole week

    we already knew it was a lie that electric cars are zero emissions, but we now have to add all the water and all the other ressources and labour required when they catch fire which we learned can happen simply because you are recharging the battery

    they are even LESS zero emission than the lying greenies claim they are

  12. ZeroHedge has a post about how “Electric vehicle owners in Illinois are going to have to pay $248 in annual registration fees next year – $100 more than what owners of gas burning cars pay.” This will go toward the cost of road construction and maintenance, some of which is covered under a tax included in the price of gas.

    I think this should be done in all jurisdictions – fair is fair, all users of roads should pay for their upkeep.
