I remember when the media made a big deal about safety issues like the Ford Pintos catching on fire or Firestone tires exploding in hot climates. Funny how this horrifying story hasn’t gotten the same kind of attention:
It’s really quite insane how a Tesla responds to a fire. First it locks the doors, then it cuts power to everything on the vehicle. Since the door mechanisms and windows are electronically controlled this traps occupants in the cabin unless they know how to locate and use the emergency manual door release.
Thus for Tesla owners, the punishment for failure to read the owner’s manual can be a slow and painful death.
After getting an EV I’ve said if everyone test drove one they’d switch over in a heartbeat. Previously, I was a manual transmission enthusiast. Don’t think we’ll see mass adaptation of the technology, though, because a lot of places didn’t invest in infrastructure at all.
The photo about dog waste and Tesla/Musk is a real turnoff. I'm not following a writer who thinks that exhortation is OK. Mean-spirited stuff is not going to help.
you prefer a President who thinks extortion is okay?
and mean-spirited? i have never seen a politician who is so publicly, flamboyantly, mean spirited as Trump.
or, for that matter as stupidly dishonest as Musk. [Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme, and there are no 150 year old people collecting benefits.] Glad we finally found some first raters to run the government.
2nd the vote against 'mean-spirited'. About as productive as the window-smashing-looting-burning parts of Lloyd Floyd / BLM protests. Yes, overall statistically v.small, but omg, so so so so damaging to what the "point" was. Vandalizing & burning Tesla chargers and cars and dealerships HURTS! Please dont.
Just because Waldman posts a picture of something doesn't mean he endorses it. The article is about the backlash against Tesla, so he used a picture of what an example of what that backlash looks like as an illustration. He even explicitly states in the piece he doesn't advocate vandalism.
Paul, you can bash Trump at least as effectively without all the lies!
You silly fool. This is exactly what the rabid left gets so wrong. Like schools of scared fish, they rush headlong at the wrong targets while Trump has moved on and taken the audience with him. You all end up looking as vibrant as boiled cabbage.
Even for Trump, calling a commercial product boycott "illegal" is stupid.

“People are still being burned alive in Teslas”

The media is far to entralled by tech bros to report objectively about their products.

Kill Tesla

Most other developed nations actually do invest in EV charging infrastructure, it’s mainly the US that wants to be dependent on the global oil market.

Then get off of Paul's page. And learn what exhortation means: it's a loud or enthusiastic urging. For example, I EXHORT YOU TO LEARN WHAT IT MEANS.

Yankee's a bot, folks. Yep, they're coming to Substack. too.
Chill, it’s just a joke. And since dogshit washes off that means it’s not vandalism like what Musk is doing to our government is.

Keep it moving! You underhanded, Nazi-protecting, traitor-supporting collaborator!
It's not stupid if your stupid base believes you and goes on to support your boy by buying Teslas.
The best car crash in history.
Well said. Thanks so much!!! ❤️

Specify the lies in the piece (there are none), and cite factual evidence to support your claims (there is none).
It only sounds like lies to you because you’ve trapped yourself in a disinformation bubble.
