It's a relevant question because Tesla knowingly sold demonstratively unsafe technology to customer and the tax payer will ultimately have to pay for all the damage it's going to cost long term(and in fact already does).
People like you who really love Tesla for some reason seem to be willingly ignorant of that fact. As others have mentioned before even DIY batteries were recommending other battery technologies for precisely these reasons.
Tesla either really didn't know, which would be massively incompetent, which I don't believe or willfully misled buyers into buying for this purpose unsafe products.
If this was the first time this happened(Tesla marketing unsafe products as safe until they got caught) you could brush it away as honest mistake, but since it's not, it's safe to say they just wanted to quickly market an unsafe product.
It's not a cynical question by the way, but a sarcastic one. No idea why you decided to take it so personal though. There is a slight chance, that Tesla actually replaces this with something less dangerous, which would be the right thing to do, but that's unlikely to happen, since people like you in government believe that when the scammer scams you, the scammer isn't to blame, but it's the customer that should foot the bill.
Given that this didn't happen in the USA, there's also the off-chance, that someone in that country actually holds Tesla responsible for what happened.
- zenexer 5y agoI’m not a Tesla fanatic—I’m rather disgusted by many of Tesla’s practices—but I agree with the parent. If you buy experimental technology from a company with a reputation for cutting corners, and said technology happens to be rather flammable, don’t be surprised when it bursts into flames. Who’s going to foot the bill? Obviously the taxpayer.
