As unusual as it may be I hate seeing the Tesla denial machine jump into action. At least Tesla didn't blame the driver....yet.

- bhouston 8y agoWell there is a baseline rate of cars catching on fire - it happeneed to my mother in law just 2 years ago. We need statistics on this rather than a single instances to draw any conclusion that this is more prevalnet with telsa than other cars. Otherwise it is just a rhetorical war between telsa long and shorts.
- freehunter 8y agoIn the comments on these kinds of articles you'll always see the opposite of the Tesla denial machine: otherwise intelligent and well-educated people who for some reason believe that only Teslas catch fire and that internal combustion engines never burn up. Sometimes I wonder if these are submarine articles paid for by companies who want Tesla to fail. And it might be working... Musk seems a moment away from snapping completely.
- djmips 8y agoIsn't there a large group of investors who have shorted Tesla to the tune of billions who might be very motivated to see bad Tesla headlines and anti Tesla social media? How far would they be willing to go?

- cfadvan 8y agoCars of all kinds definitely catch fire, but other than some Italian supercars, don’t they tend to be old cars in poor repair? This is a very new car. How many of the yearly fire stats apply to a luxury car in its first two years or life?
