The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.

    What? They don’t explode. Worst case they burn.

    Did you know that I there are 100k cars on fire in the US annually?

      Are you kidding me? You get even one of them wet from flood waters (guess what, nature happens, and sea levels are apparently rising…), they absolutely do explode in all holy hellfire!

      You do realize any water compromised Tesla has to be parked like 50 feet away from any other vehicles or structures?

      Gasoline isn’t even nearly as dangerous as a compromised lithium battery pack.

          Please for the love of God folks, quit talking out of your asses, do your homework, and learn the very real dangers of lithium batteries.

          People really need to quit with the denial factor, lithium batteries are extremely dangerous!

          As of recently, in Arizona, the pavement temperatures have exceeded 80⁰ Celsius. Lithium batteries aren’t safe over 40⁰ Celsius. Where do EV cars place their batteries? Under the car, right over the super-hot road…

          Please don’t sit here and tell me these things are safe, when some of the roads they drive over are literally twice as hot as the rated safe temperature.

            It’s still not an explosion bro, it’s a fire. Yes that sucks and I hope it gets better but ICE engines are not safer.

              ICE engines don’t sling molten lithium metal out when they burn. To sling molten metal out is literally an explosion.

              Please watch the videos, some of which provided by firefighting experts, to understand the extreme dangers lithium batteries present.
