Battery-power = still plagued by teh glitch.

Maybe there was a hoverboard involved?

Tesla as a company has larger things to worry about right now than a couple car fires that happened while charging or due to significant impacts piercing their protective battery plates.

Uh...okay.

Would they have preferred this item escape note?

No, I think something like this is noteworthy. My comment is more an off the cuff statement about the company as a whole and not a critique on the relevance of the topic. Obviously anything like this is a potential black eye for Tesla. My point was that in addition to whatever problem this may or may not turn out to be, the company isn't exactly in the best business position at the moment anyway.

What is interesting is that I suppose many people didn't consider fire as the go to failure mode for EV's but if you think about it, it does make some sense.

I see.

I am heartened, Levi, to learn you are willing to speak "off the cuff". :wink:
