Normally this is about when Elon Musk will pipe up and go "Our cars are safe!" - Beryllium Jul 4, 13:48 8
- The car was doing in excess on 100 mph, was *torn in half* and the driver lived. I'd call that safe. -- nm - TWuG Jul 4, 14:20 3
  - ... so far. (heheh. I agree, I just think he doesn't need to be as defensive this time as he usually is) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 4, 14:22 2
    - Until people stop freaking the fuck out that an electric car caught fire, he kinda does need to respond. - TWuG Jul 4, 14:29 1
      - yes, quite true. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 4, 14:30
- that's a stress test no car maker does :) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 4, 13:49 3
  - I wonder if the battery compartment was intact ... depending on what was causing the explosions and sparks and stuff, perhaps not. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 4, 13:54 2
    - Battery *compartments*. They're basically stacked laptop batteries in modules separated by fireproof and cooling material. - TWuG Jul 4, 14:27 1
      - nice -- nm - Beryllium Jul 4, 14:30
Saw the teaser on CH.4 news this morning but didn't realize it was a Tesla. Can't believe the driver survived...so far. -- (link) - Meg Jul 4, 13:44 1
- thanks -- nm - peglegpete Jul 4, 13:52
I was about to post this -- nm - peglegpete Jul 4, 13:39
