A Model S has a 1 in 2.5 million chance of burning down while charging at a Tesla Supercharger. This statistic is based on the fact that Superchargers have been used 2.5 million times with only one report of a fire earlier this year in Norway.

I figured something like this would happen, batteries get hot very fast when you cram amps into them at a fast rate, and this is in addition to the batteries being very hot from driving already.
>>
Statistics are fucking useless bullshit.
Either it happens, or it doesn't.

I guess the Superchargers are useful for long trips and convenient fast charging, but it seems like using 110V to keep your Tesla around 50% would lead to the longest battery life

that's not how statistics or probability works
>>
>>15658636
Battery life is mostly how violent the charge/discharge cycle is and keeping them half-fill for storage assuming, itjium ion works similar to lithium polymer.
>>
Well you don't NEED a supercharger. When will we have common sense regulation for EV charger in stations?

I'm more concerned about drivers jerking off while their car "autopilots" them into the back of a semi and kills them

A Texas man said the Autopilot mode on his Tesla Model S sent him off the road and into a guardrail, bloodying his nose and shaking his confidence in the technology.

Tesla removed the word "autopilot" and a Chinese term for "self-driving" from its China website after a driver in Beijing who crashed in "autopilot" mode complained that the car maker overplayed the function's capability and misled buyers.

they were very clear about the whole 'youre still the one whos driving' thing. so its just the texan and a chink being dumb

after a 20 min drive Tesla Model S battery bursts into flames, car “totally destroyed” in 5 minutes.

When these fires start they don't stop.

Water won't put out the fire so these guys ...just?
>>
Let's just make sure.
>>
>>15664216
They can put out any nearby fires it sets off, though.

>>15664226
Fires are sneaky as fuck, m8. Drown those fuckers asap.

>>15664216
Is it dangerous to put out a fire of an electrical car with water?
>>
Still safer than a Ferrari. Mario forgets to torque a fuel line connector down to spec, and the car bursts into flames during normal operation. Then all you have is an engine block and a puddle of melted composites.
