    it could’ve caught fire on its own, it’s a tesla.

    you should’ve known that when you bought the car too, before you knew about the nazism.

      Yeah ICE cars catch fire 61x more often than EVs.

      Facts are important. We want people to switch to EVs. Spreading falsehoods because it helps your own side short term is wrong.

        ICE cars are filled with gasoline and function by blowing it up, the risk is clear. EVs should not be catching fire.

        Also yea, I want people to use public transportation, actually. And I want villages to return, not these horrendous sprawling “small towns” where, despite having less stuff than my Montréal neighbourhood, it’s a huge pain to get anywhere and you need a car at least simply because too many jobs that could be remote aren’t.

          just to clarify I’m not talking about “EVs”. I’m talking about teslas. they’re famously prone to catching fire.
