We were supposed to have nuclear powered hover cars by now also. It has become known that Elon time is a bit different. The thing about him is that if it does turn out to not be possible he will admit it.

Too late, another Tesla just left the road in another single car accident reported yesterday and went up in flames, cremating both occupants.

Musk is their press office now, his latest tweet was something about Full Self-Driving feature lulling owners into the false belief the car drives itself. Not that the name of the feature has anything to do with it.

The GM system has sensors to make sure the driver is watching the road when using Super Cruise to prevent idiots like this from misusing the system.

It’s a tale of fame-chasing, reckless driving and internet trolling.

Ya. My wife is second guessing the Model 3 because these deaths resulting from fires are becoming more common place. Yes, petrol cars will catch fire however the likelihood of the occupants dying because they're unable to exit the vehicle is ridiculously low.

What I want to know is if the occupants in these Tecla's become quickly incapacitated due to the smoke entering the cabin.

This guy convinced himself (or others did) that everyone in automotive industry is wrong and he is industry savior.

Tesla is under scrutiny by NHTSA for enabling in-car video games while driving

People doing things they shouldn’t while driving is nothing new nor unique to Tesla, but the automaker is now under...

Here is another interesting story:

Potential Model Y Long Range RWD Buyer Tells Tale Of How Tesla Did Him Wrong

If you reserved a Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD, a version Tesla later canceled, then perhaps this story is true for you too. Tesla should step do what's right.

That happened to the "$35K Model 3" as well. This was part of the preorders for the Model 3. Tesla did make some of the strippies, but then stopped far short of the orders. One owner I talked to got the $40K version, or whatever it was, for the $35 price. I think the key difference was range; the cheaper car had 230 EPA miles. Not sure; something like that.

Id say they were electrocuted before smoke got within a foot of them.

What's that stat?

How many people have died in a tesla because of a fire?

Nah, Tesla has fancy electric door handles that get fried in case of fire. Then you have back up mechanical one that, of course, is not easily reachable and more importantly not part of brain memory, which is key in these situations.
I mean, 150 years since ICE started and Musk thought that no one tried to pull off that.

Not easily reachable? In terms of " reaches" thats a tall one.

Its the handle everyone grabs the first 100 time they get out the car.

I have to tell and remind people about the electric button all the time.
It took ahwile for me to stop using the manual door handle.
