Having worked on functional codebases (legacy code which were actively replacing), I was ready to shit on this article. But it makes salient points, some of which I had not considered.

I think a functional codebase could be successful if architected intelligently and thoroughly beforehand. And everybody on board has to drink the koolaid.

That being said, the functional codebases I have seen have been steam piles of spaghetti. Could it work and work well? Maybe. I’m not going to try it though. Not again.

There are many on those charts with greater frequency of fires than teslas.

And to reiterate: ALL of this is negligible. A ram pickup is more than 2x more likely to catch on fire than a Tesla model X (according to your source). And I’m not afraid of driving a ram.

> Researchers from insurance deal site Auto Insurance EZ compiled sales and accident data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the National Transportation Safety Board. The site found that hybrid vehicles had the most fires per 100,000 sales at 3474.5. There were 1529.9 fires per 100k for gas vehicles and just 25.1 fires per 100k sales for electric vehicles.

I’ve been driving gas cars all my life. EVs are even safer than gas cars when it comes to fires.

I’m not saying your wrong about teslas compared to other EVs. But even so, this is statistically negligible. Gas cars are almost 2 orders of magnitude more dangerous and I ain’t worrying about them either.

Actually gasoline cars explode at a significantly higher rate then BEVs.

As far as frequent Tesla recalls: If you counted the number of recalls where you have to physically bring the car in to the mechanic, it is less than average ICE cars. Like this issue, most of these “recalls” are addressed by an over the air software update
