The loss he cannot recoup is this, the average person out there would never have associated CAR FIRE with an electric car. Hence, you take a propulsion technology which people know even less about than they think they know about their gasoline car and their fears can take flight.
Look, they made a compromise on pack layout to facilitate swappable packs.
Lastly, Must should not be comparing his car to gasoline only cars, how many Leaf or Volts have caught fire after a collision? I do recall a Volt doing it once, days after in a junk yard. So Elon, why doesn't the Volt or Leaf have this issue? Is there battery chemistry less volatile? How about their pack designs?
- threeseed 13y agoExactly this. I don't understand why people can be so hypocritical and do the electric car cause a huge disservice by this blind fanaticism. Gasoline cars have had decades of experience with countless recalls to perfect certain processes and implementations. Why are people expecting electric cars to not go through the same ? Are people really expecting Tesla to be the pinnacle of perfection on their first few tries ? People are far more accommodating when you say "hey we aren't perfect but it IS safer than gasoline cars" rather than this "we are perfect and if you disagree with us you are wrong" attitude.
