Holy shit - the driver and his two kids escaped the car with what were effectively minor injuries!
That is a very safe car.

Yep. Even if teslas caught on fire every bit as often as gas cars (which they don't) - having them start burning sometime _after_ the crash is infinitely preferable for the safety of the passengers.jonescg said:Holy shit - the driver and his two kids escaped the car with what were effectively minor injuries!

Yep.TheBeastie said:Um yeah Telsas are just like any other car.
This seems to be making the rounds on Twitter today... It's an entire truck car carrier of Tesla M3s that burned together.

They are taking the burned shells and transporting them to another carrier truck.
Looks like they're not - they're a lot less likely to catch on fire, at least going by news reports.TheBeastie said:Um yeah Telsas are just like any other car.
Sorry! Will fix that.Arlo1 said:Your quote is wrong.. I did not write that

Or not.
My money is on the Model S
Formula 1 Champion Nico Rosberg Offers To Drive The Tesla Model S Nürburgring Lap – Musk Accepts!
Hillhater said:These track test comparisons are interesting for sure, but they do not mean much unless thy are conducted by reputable independent, unbiased, testers (R &T, C & D, Motor, etc etc) and using “showroom” spec vehicles ( with safety additions), and the same driver
Otherwise , the result is simply proportional to the amount of money and resource the manufacturers throw at the attempt.
Ineradicable by what ?.. another EV ? ..or any car ?Arlo1 said:If Tesla can make the Model s turn an ineradicable lap time that's all that matters. As even if it is future tech.. It will end up in production cars in time.
No , but it may make the difference between a full lap at speed and just missing out.As for turning off the thermal cut backs good luck. The model s would be on fire by the end of the lap.
You don't get anymore power by letting them run hotter.
Punx0r said:If you want a hot lap at any cost you want a warm/hot over-charged battery, a cold-as-possible motor, pull out all the stops in the controller and maybe bypass the main pack fuse :lol:
Oh, and warmed (road legal) slicks and probably disable/loosen regen limits.
