I just read this crazy article about a Tesla car that burst into flames! The owner was driving on the highway and suddenly the car caught fire. He managed to pull over and escape, but the car was completely destroyed. So he got in touch with Tesla to find out what happened, and their response was pretty shocking.
Basically, Tesla told him that they couldn’t determine the cause of the fire because the car was too badly damaged. They also said that “automotive fires are very rare” and that “it is important to note that a gas car has a probability of fire that is about 11 times greater than a Tesla.” Yikes!
As someone who’s always been a little skeptical of electric cars, this article definitely caught my attention. I mean, I know they’re supposed to be safer, but what if something like this happened to me? Would I be able to trust the car manufacturer to investigate and take responsibility?
But on the other hand, I do appreciate that Tesla is being transparent about the incident and trying to provide context. It’s reassuring to know that they take the risks seriously and are actively working to improve safety. Plus, the fact that this doesn’t happen very often is definitely a point in their favor.
Overall, I think this article is an important reminder that while electric cars have a lot of benefits, they’re not immune to problems. It’s always good to be aware of the risks and make an informed decision based on your own needs and preferences.
