All you Electric car fans!

Just watching on the news here in Kissimmee, a house flooded out in this Hurricane, a 6 bedroom, 5 bath etc. etc. not only flooded, but burned to the ground because their Tesla went up in flames in the garage. Totally destroying all the upper floor and remainder of the ground floor. Local Govt. advising anyone with a saltwater flooded electric vehicle, NOT to try starting their vehicle, but the call them and they will take it away and deal with it. And this, this is the future?

Basics really, electricity and water don't mix.
Petrol is for cars, electricity for "white goods". This is the law.

Just wait till the lithium runs out, things will be fine.

The sooner this idiocy dies out the better

In other news, the petrol that leaked out of all the cars in all the garages in the town floated on top of the water, and the whole town went on fire

At least the place will dry out, then.
