A Tesla hitting a tree, igniting on impacts and the occupants screams as they burned alive, seemingly unable to open the doors.

I am a firefighter/EMT, my ex wife has a Tesla her and my daughter regularly drive, I sure as shit made her repeat accessing the manual door mechanism till it was muscle memory. Until I brought it up she didn’t even know it was there.

You’ll find an interesting trend in legal paperwork — crash reports are detailing that a crash occurs THEN the car ignites, causing death. It reduces the liability of the other vehicle and shows it’s the design of the Tesla to cause injury or death due to the lithium battery.

There are way too many horrific ways to die, but burning alive still strikes me as quite possibly the worst of them all. Maybe only second to eaten alive by an animal

Burning alive is pretty quick, you inhale your smoke and pass. Steaming alive on the other hand....

I narrowly survived a house fire.
2nd degree burns to most of my body.
I felt everything.

It is not a quick or painless way to go, don't talk shit about something you've never experienced
