Blue Train posted:You absolutely heard about it when pintos were catching on fire when hit from behind. It's almost like they are publicized when there are glaring design flaws NHTSA posted:1971–1976 Ford Pintos have experienced moderate speed, rear-end collisions that have resulted in fuel tank damage, fuel leakage, and fire occurrences that have resulted in fatalities and non-fatal burn injuries ... The fuel tank design and structural characteristics of the 1975–1976 Mercury Bobcat which render it identical to contemporary Pinto vehicles, also render it subject to like consequences in rear impact collisions. Tesla Model S: NHTSA posted:After reviewing all available data, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not found evidence at this time that would indicate the recent battery fire involving a Tesla Model S was the result of a vehicle safety defect or noncompliance with federal safety standards.

Elukka posted:Any social system in history, our current one included, is flawed. The struggle to improve the system is always important, but it's not the only thing that matters, nor the only thing that one can be interested in. Everything good and cool and neat happens in that flawed context. The sentiment that everything should be torn down right now because hey it's flawed lacks perspective and doesn't help improve anything. A dead Elon would improve our social system.

Verisimilidude posted:ford pinto cost in 1971 - $2000 ($12,374 in 2018 dollars) Electric vehicles in general have differing fire risks compared to regular cars. There is no indication they are madly dangerous or prone to fires, in general or in the case of the Model S. IDONTPOST posted:A dead Elon would improve our social system.

Verisimilidude posted:ford pinto cost in 1971 - $2000 ($12,374 in 2018 dollars) Cars still catch on fire all the time. All the safety regulations in the world can't stop the laws of physics. Put someone in a complicated wheeled machine and fill it with flammable liquid and the power it with tiny explosions and propel it into stuff abd poo poo will go bad no matter what. With teslas it's the same but with giant cell phone batteries instead of burning dino juice.

OXBALLS DOT COM posted:Multiple actual car makers currently make 200+ mile range cars under $40k, a feat that Tesla still has not accomplished. Nobody buys them though. What car models would those be? Assuming we're talking EPA range there's the Chevy Bolt/Opel Ampera-E and...? There are some cars that get 200+ miles under NEDC but NEDC is 100% bullshit (under NEDC the model S is a 400 mile car) NihilismNow fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jun 6, 2018 |

I was speaking about the undercarriage being unshielded and they pushed a software update that raised the ride height and put an aluminum shield under it and the ntsb said we won't continue investigating because tesla pinkie swore it would be fine

And as far as the charging fires go, they determined if there was a short circuit it would burn down so they had to change it so it would stop charging if it detected one, which seems pretty common sense. Both things are design flaws, hth

That's also why they're so cheap and why production wont increase.

Enough retarded defense of his lovely car company that is still researching..... something.... Despite electric cars already being on the market for years now. Thank God those early adopters are helping Tesla research.... something! Elon Musk wanted to start a (website? company?) to rank media outlets on their trustworthiness lmao like an even more retarded verritt backed by a billionaire no less. What a loving maroon, this Elon Musk guy.
