i'm hoping he eats poo poo, mostly from a lot of elon's net worth being tied up in his flammable car company and him showing his entire rear end. hopefully it kills confidence in the rest of his dumb poo poo

twitter implodes for obvious reasons, gets sued by all the huge brands
china bans tesla and calls for his execution, nhtsa also bans under pressure from congress
fed stops all spacex funding unless eelon is completely cut out because he's incompetent and works with the saudis and made fun of sen. markey

idk, it could happen

even if 100% of this would come true deutschebank would still give him a zero interest nine figure line of credit so he could live like the manchild he is until he dies

you can't just wrap half a car in DO NOT OPEN - NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE and use that as a lawsuit defense. its not a clock radio

i wonder how many hundreds of thousands of dents have been pulled out of the rear quarter panel that has the filler tube on gas cars. and i wonder how many of the dent guys loving died from doing so

So I am not an electric car engineer, but I would have figured there would be a battery cutoff inside the battery pack. Either a mechanical contactor, or solid state, but inside the metal can with the cells. There's no reason for the charger wires to be hot unless you are actually charging. It's not as if the charging station cable is live all the time, either. There must be an electronic handshake where the charging connector verifies it's plugged in and that you've paid, etc.

the good news is if you buy literally any other OEM’s EV you have all of those safety features and more

I'd like to believe there has to be more to the story, especially since we don't have a source linked yet. If it was so easy to short out, there would be more stories of Tesla owners getting zapped in a rainstorm when water would get in behind that panel. Then again if your doing PDR and one of your tools is leveraging against the cable without you knowing it, I can see someone breaking the insulation on the cable and being baptized in the holy voltage of a Tesla.

so the batteries DONT have a manual disconnect?? this is very confusing, my solution is to never touch a tesla or let my children near them.

edit: like idk, i feel like there needs to be a way to render all of the car safe to touch, that doesn't seem like a high bar.

yeah i think they demonstrated it in the hurt locker
