Boeing probably should have licensed Tesla tech after the first incident.
- notahacker 13y agoAs PR moves go "calling them out" was a good one. But even if Boeing had achieved the extremely unlikelihood of being able to get Tesla car batteries modified, fitted to their aircraft and approved by the relevant licensing bodies, it wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference to the totally unrelated Honeywell bit of kit suspected of catching fire in the Ethiopian 787
- tankenmate 13y agoI don't think Elon was suggesting Tesla batteries so much as the batteries similar to the ones used on the Falcon 9.
