Most dangerous cars on the road, worst rated by Consumer Reports, and Tesla Autopilot was and continues to be a blatant fraud that should have been prosecuted long ago.

The whole point of electric cars is to ultimately herd everyone into 15 Minute Cities where you own nothing and if you are unhappy your Tesla will drive you not to you destination, but straight to the reeducation camp or euthanasia facility.

Or drive you into a concrete wall, off a bridge, whatever is close by. They say that actress who died in car crash was probably exterminated that way she was about to or had been spilling damaging info.

Can't remember her name tho. Ann Heche I think.

They are NOT saying refer to “the manual” to open the doors. They are saying that the riders should have used the manual door openers rather than the electric door openers. Each Tesla door can easily be opened manually. However, riders unfamiliar with this fact may not have been aware of this capability as the manual door openers are not visually obvious.

Dr. Paul, can you push President Trump to get on board to outlaw the mRNA poison. https://open.substack.com/pub/gregreese/p/trump-surrounding-himself-with-operation?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=15jmkx

It is apparently a cable they can pull. However, I guess it's not that obvious, since nobody seems to know about it. Make it more obvious. I've read that you have to really look to find it. Nobody would be doing that in a situation like a serious accident. It should be really obvious, and colored with a bright color, like an emergency exit on a plane.

Don't lose your home to an EV fire:

A fire from a lithium battery in an EV is very difficult for firemen to extinguish.

Therefore think long and hard before parking the EV in your garage --- ***ESPECIALLY if your garage is ATTACHED*** to your house!

What about 50 story condo buildings with underground parking???

The question is why is the normal handle not also the emergency handle?? Its a stupid design and people died. Someone should be responsible. I even think the manual handle was introduced after someone Locked them self into a burning Tesla and had to hammer their way out.

not reading the instructions. most people now do not read the actual manual that is in the glove box. as for the fire it could all be related to poor maint of car or how they are charging them. low charge poor, poor charging regulator ect.

either way its sad this happened.

Maybe mandate a sticker in plain view of each occupant with plain instructions for door opening in emergencies would be a simple solution.

Otherwise jet boosted ejection seats through the sky-light panel would enhance the thrill of the ride - just sayin'

The sheeple voted for turdo so it does not matter what emergency measures are recommended, they will all be too stupid to know how to escape a burning vehicle. This is especially true of Canuckistani sheeple who voted for turdo who has wrecked a once prosperous country.

This is not the first such incident nor will it be the last. A woman driving a Tesla had it back up into a lake, she could not get out and drowned. Apparently there's no way to open the windows if the battery is not working. Lithium Ion batteries also have a tendency to explode and cause fires that are difficult to put out. Most of the batteries are made in China which has poor quality control. In NYC the Lithium Ion batteries in scooters and bikes also have a tendency to explode. It has been causing big problems.

This technology is not ready for Prime Time. It is not safe.

I agree. You are literally sitting on top of a huge mass of lithium every day. Not going anywhere near that stupidity.

This past week near San Francisco a couple in a Tesla went thru an area of pooled water on the freeway and their car blacked out totally. They were left stranded and luckily were able to exit the vehicle and get away from it as soon after another car hit it.

Apparently '' riders unfamiliar with this fact may not have been aware of this capability as the manual door openers are not visually obvious.''

Need I say more?

I could not help thinking what motivated the designer to make an item crucial to the saving of life ''not visually obvious''.

Was it to preserve the exquisite beauty of the line of his design?

Was it part of the very popular trend among the very rich, apparent since 2020, to try and kill us off?

If anyone has ever seen an EV burn up, Tesla, Volt… and you still go out and buy one, that’s on you.

P.S. you aren’t helping save the environment.

Electric cars symbolize the ascent of stupidity. When I think of the image of the burned death trap I see Trudeau in my mind's eye.

Old fashioned mechanical door handles should never be replaced with cup cake and butter cup friendly push button electronics. Self-locking doors (automatic locking) should be banned, and replaced with a 9mm pistol to dissuade the would be car-jackers and rapists. In the name of safety, millions are being killed or maimed. Time to replace automatons with people who use their brain every day. Old skills are good skills...everyone should endeavor to reject endless automation...it diminishes your abilities and paralyzes the brain in emergencies. Critical thinking skills will save your life.

Didn't Ford have a problem with car fires? The Ford Pinto would explode into Flames if hit from behind. You don't see Pintos any more.

Electric vehicles do not use faraday to protect occupants from radiation. Many EV vehicles are recommended not to be charged next to a home due to fire risk, and even the vehicle should not be parked near the home due to fire risk. https://core.verisk.com/Insights/Emerging-Issues/Articles/2023/December/Week-1/How-Insurers-Can-Stay-Ahead-of-Electric-Vehicle-Risks

There = a place, compare with 'here'.

Their = the possessive form, means the object belongs to them, for example

'their house'.

They're = abbreviation of 'They are'.

Obvious far left liberal Canada will heavily blame Musk.

Funny how liberals loved Musk before he bought Twitter and stopped liberals from censoring everyone else. Now they hate him. Liberals turn on their own in a split second yet are the people of tolerance, love, understanding, etc. All bs.

It is a sad accident. There are risks in any car but it seems electric cars have higher risks of burning. With thousands of pounds of lithium batteries that should be obvious . Maybe require a warning on a orange sheet to all buyers.
