You know what, I applaud your conviction. However, I’m not going to join you since you just lopped off my arm, dad. Also, I’m reporting Bespin to the EPA.

“I say no emissions regulations for vehicles, but you can only drive 4K miles/year.”

You are exactly right, hence the part of my comment you omitted regarding going to such a place at your own risk. Again, we’re back to the issue of CO2 being a fundamentally different animal than all the other bad shit: Even though it accounts for most of a tailpipe emissions, the other stuff like NOx, CO, C2O2, and…

Stop. Just do yourself a favor... stop.

Yeah, no, having to use another method for opening the door than the one you use every single day - particularly when you are panicked because you’ve just been in an accident - is utterly insane.

Seeing as how Catalytic converters reduce emissions by ~90%, that 2k would be more emissions than the 10k

Depending on how far out of bounds the emissions output is - yes this EXACTLY.

I bought a ‘72 back in ‘77. It had the same motor as my race boat so I was very familiar with it. Ford had a recall going to install a “fix” for the fire issue. I had them send me the part and I installed it.

Please refer to update 2022.40.4 for the Tesla Model 3 and others. Or 2023.12.1.1. I could go on but I don’t think it matters for someone like you. 

One place mechanical connections would be helpful is trying to egress the car. If you read the article it sounds like they had trouble escaping the fireball.

But only 60% of our (the US) electricity generation comes from non-renewable fossil fuels.

This is some hardcore victim blaming right there.

Am I the only one in this room who is old enough to remember the Ford Pinto?

Investigators believe the two women were trapped inside the Tesla with no way to escape, according to WABC.

Teslas are definitely not known to have bugs after updates where people can’t open their doors, even with the manual latch, or because it resets a setting buried in the menu for some reason blocking the capability of the manual release. I mean, not even a five second search of Google will give you plenty of this info.…

The alternative headline for this should be “Tesla catches on fire after accident like every other car can,

See, you were fine until you went with “fuel source” diatribe, which of course, applies directly to Teslas, because you idiots don’t know how electricity works.

We gonna get the tesla_fan guy in here telling us that this isn’t a big deal, cars blow up all the time, my Teslas haven’t blown up yet, see!

Elon unleashed his army of sycophants and trolls early today I see.

Don’t buy these deathtraps under any circumstances. They’re unstable, dangerous, and buying one simply funds a fascist oligarch.
