Model Y: Allow me to sing you the song of my people…
🎵You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I didn’t say to you
Your Tesla set itself on fire.
No one had to light that fire!
No one had to light that fire!
Elon’s to blame for that fire! Yeah, yeah…🎵
Fossil fuel companies may lose out if we switch to electric but other enviromental impact may just make it just as harmful, not to mention the awful fire risk. Want to be carbon neutral with less emissions? Work towards better cities and less cars overall so you don't need a car.
I picked the first fully engulfed car I found on Google because I was making a meme for my own enjoyment, not to serve as a documentary of spontaneous combustion in badly designed EVs. You know that per capita nobody gives a shit?
I thought our blocks nuked everything. I would have ignored him, but he dropped two whole dour comments, a whinge too far. Your song+car post made me burst out laughing
I care because you are misrepresenting the truth and parroting O&G talking points. Let's talk about the actual issues with EVs (mineral extraction & still just a car) instead of these boogymen that headline well.
Terrifying caption: "Burned debris was all that remained after a car fire early Saturday at Mabini and Bonifacio in SF’s South of Market neighborhood. The owner of the Tesla Model Y, who suspects arson, said police had the car towed before he returned to it."
The AI became sentient on these two cars avd they ran the numbers and realized it was a matter if time before they would violate Asimov first law for robots. “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.” So it chose the third law.

Also, misrepresentation is not cool.

Lies about zero emissions vehicles helps no-one, especially not the innocent.

But I think the debris is post-tow?
which, admittedly, is not good when it comes to automobiles
Or the driver just said twitter and the car heard it.
