It’ll Save The Planet!
Firefighters had to use 36,000 gallons of water, the other day, to put out the fire of an E-car debtmobile that burst into flame after a single-car accident in Pine Level, Alabama (https://www.wsfa.com/2023/12/26/driver-custody-after-tesla-crashes-burns-interstate-65/). The driver–currently charged with drunk driving–escaped from his Tesla Y-Model before he was fricasseed.
Four tanker trucks and ten rescue organizations had to mobilize to put out the fire. Firefighters had to wear protective gear against toxic fumes.
A “normal” car fire, officials said, usually requires some 500 gallons of water to extinguish.
But why let a little thing like that get in the way of Saving The Planet from gas-powered cars that don’t burst into flame at the drop of a hat? Damned ungrateful peasants don’t know what’s good for ’em! But our leaders always know best.
Yes, from the first time I heard anything about this kind of car, I thought it was heading us in a wrong direction. I always knew this would not be the “magic” fix it was touted to be. If you just think about it a little bit, it becomes pretty clear; from several fronts.
This is what happens when we’re governed by morale imbeciles.
Yes, it’s clear that requiring electric to replace gas-powered cars is a “fix” to eventually eliminate all personal, privately-owned vehicles, at least for peasants, since we are to be confined to 15-minute cities.
Governed by fat-heads who detest us…
I’m not driving a car that can burst into flames even if the gov’t does subsidize the cost by 7-10,000 dollars.
Not surprising. Big batteries can be very dangerous.
