  1. I don't even want one to pull beside me at a stop light. Those batteries are highly explosive. We have used them long before even cellphones started putting them in there phones. I fiy RC Airplanes and we used them years before so we no what these un safe batteries are capable of doing. I've seen a few electric Airplanes blow the nose off the model from a LiPo explosion and batteries that's charging just burn up catch fire. No I won't listen to any of these electric car toy sales men on how great they are. To me JUNK.

  2. WHO SHOULD PAY FOR THIS DESTRUCTION !?!
    This is the biggest man-made environmental disaster which is a MILLION TIMES more TOXIC than gasoline engine catching fire.

  3. not just flood damaged ev's but all cars lots of scams out there and a fool akd theor money are easily parted. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  4. "EVs are not necessarily more dangerous than a traditional gas-powered vehicle." Really? That's not what you just reported. In case of flood, it is more dangerous. You need to be clear on that.

  5. ๐Ÿ˜‚ They're "not more dangerous…they just have to be handled differently."

    So…my combustion engine car is no less dangerous than a battery that spontaneously bursts into flames, takes more water to extinguish and could re-ignite weeks later. Got it. Thanks, Elon.
