[QUOTE=OvB;42409642][url]http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/model-s-fire[/url][/QUOTE] I still can't get over the fact that the car tells you to pull over, all you'd get in a traditional car is an engine check light.
I was going to put stocks in Tesla when it was around 25 bucks a share, I was going to put a thousand. Lack of knowledge in the stock market scared me away and I have been regretting it ever since. But since this rebound I decided to open up an account and I put 3000 dollars in a variety of stocks, including Tesla and some 3D printer stuff. NOT THIS TIME. little too late to make a good amount of profit on it but still.
[QUOTE=OogalaBoogal;42417784]I still can't get over the fact that the car tells you to pull over, all you'd get in a traditional car is an engine check light.[/QUOTE] I wonder if it's a voice like a fighter jet that tells you to pull over or a big warning light. This is a good time to mention that Elon recruited a crew of self-driving car experts to report directly to him. Elon says they'll have them in 3 years.

"A chunk of metal entering most batteries at high speed could cause them to catch fire. However, if a chunk of metal entered your gas tank at high speed... The Model S scored 5-stars in every category because of its unmatched ability to ensure passenger safety during high energy impacts. Stock will come back up after Q4 and total 2013 Model S sales exceed expectations. Over 150,000 car fires happen every year in the U.S., and the media is hyping one single Tesla Model S fire that actually demonstrated the car's safety by not exploding and the fire not engulfing the entire vehicle like ICE-age cars are prone to doing. The fire was contained in the front and did not spread to the cabin. Imagine that: 150,000 cars burning up and nobody says anything about it; but one Tesla catches fire after hitting a chunk of metal at high speed, and it's all over the news. What gives? Come on. The media is acting like car fires don't ever happen. Yes it is possible for an electric car to catch fire. However, the chances of it happening are far less than in your gas burner. And Tesla never said the Model S couldn't catch fire. It, however, cannot explode, unlike the mobile gas bombs we drive on a daily basis."
Well on the plus side.. less hipsters.. so..

For example, a car won't explode like in films if the fuel tank is shot, in most cases, because even if there is a spark, the fuel won't ignite because of fuel to air mixture being wrong. This is why you can have a fuel leak on a car and not having the car blow up. Fuel tank design shouldn't allow objects to penetrate it, although I guess it'd rupture if it went through the same as the Tesla.
[QUOTE=Spybreak;42427615]Well on the plus side.. less hipsters.. so..[/QUOTE] How does Tesla have anything to do with the hipsters? Its the safest car ever made, consumer reports called it the best car ever made, and it's one of the fastest family sedans you can buy right now, how this has to do with hipsters I don't even know.
