My biggest question is: who cares? Lot’s of people in this community (and the media) love to pounce on people and companies who don’t think the same as them. These people/groups talk about being inclusive right up and until the others don’t share their points of view. It’s exhausting

There are 1,000s of companies across the country do this very same thing without any fan fare.

Just stop it!!!

You see the same thing when a Tesla car catches fire after an accident. It's front page international news. I saw an F150 on fire on the side of the highway a few weeks ago. I'm sure there's a large public outcry about Ford as well.

F150s have gasoline, which is known to catch fire. In fact, that's kind of the whole point of gasoline: it it flammable. With a car fire, it is simply that the fire has escaped the part of the vehicle where the fire is supposed to be contained.

EVs are not supposed to catch fire, thus it is news when they do.

Lithium isn't supposed to be flammable but gasoline is in your mind? What kind of logic is that?

Both are flammable and both take as many precautions as possible (with our knowledge) to not be in a car, but still can in extreme conditions (crashes).

The main difference is chemical fires are harder to put out, but you just have to carry the right suppressant.

But with Tesla, yes they make the news than other cars, including other EVs, because... politics.

[gamblor956]

No, Tesla makes the news more than other cars, including other EVs, because they try to market themselves as the best, safest vehicle but they have substantially worse build quality, abysmal software (i.e., AP/FSD), highest likelihood of being in an accident (whether on an absolute basis or adjusted for market share), and the highest fatality rate of any vehicle in their class (luxury vehicles) compared to all other manufacturers worldwide.

It's not politics, it's people targeting the sheer incompetence and hypocrisy that is Tesla.

Lol ok.

If it was an electric F150 it probably would have been news.
