I have family that owns a condo on the gulf. One of the neighbors who owns a tesla left it on the first floor of the parking garage plugged into the charging stations.

Flood waters were about 10 foot and ended up causing the sucker to burn up. Took out all the charging stations and left one hell of a scorch mark on the floor and ceiling!

In other news, it was 10 feet of salt water. The fire means nothing. The charging stations were likewise destroyed by salt water if not fire.

EVs have a much lower risk of fire than internal combustion vehicles.

Easy buddy, step back and chill, I'm not shiting on them, god knows I'd own nothing but evs if I could afford them.

Just sharing a personal story related to the article.

Damn, boy. You’re sweating over here. How much are you being paid to worship EV’s?

Nothing, posting to correct bad information like everyone should be doing, versus propagating fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

Tesla’s are unsafe. They don’t even stop for kids.

This happened during Irma and Ian. Teslas and golf carts burned down many homes here. ICE engines fared much better than teslas here in south west Florida.
