Elon might know a thing or two here, as just last year Tesla's battery testing facility caught on fire [1]. In the absence of more information, allow me to publicly speculate that perhaps that facility is fundamentally unsafe. <g>

- teyc 14y agoBeing a bit snarky there? Fukushima reminded me that there are some designs that required active safety systems, while others like thorium reactors can be designed with passive safety system. Musk was not offering to help out with designing a new plane. He was offering help with battery systems. This, he has more expertise than Boeing or its direct subcontractor did. Musk did not strike me as a person who have actively sought out publicity for publicity's sake in the past. Personally, I'd rather more eyes went through the design of a plane that I might ride in one day. Teslas are too pricey for me.
