Oh, cool, so that’s what’s supposed to happen in a collision? I’ll totally buy one.

      “I keep being told we shouldn’t talk about Teslas catching fire because it’s not a big problem and also other cars catch fire.” -FlyingSquid link

      Care to explain what you meant by your opening post then?

          How wonderfully evasive of you!

          • The reading is pretty clear to me that you’re implying that Tesla (and presumably EVs in general) catch fire more than non Tesla (or again, other EVs).
          • That is clearly proven wrong
          • You ignore your previous point and move the goalposts to your “defect” angle
          • When called on you moving the goalposts you claim the original reading of the original point is wrong
          • When called to clarify your original point, you refuse to explain it, and even claim to have no other way your claimed unknown point could be communicated
          • You claim victory with nothing to support it

          Should you ever want to change careers, you have a strong talent for doublespeak and propaganda. Pick up some Russian or Mandarin language skills, update your Linkedin, and you’ll be well on your way to a new career!

          Now with my own snark aside, I need to say this. You’re not an idiot. I know this. I’ve read many posts of yours where you accurately and passionately defend your position, even extending your the language of your arguments to make yourself understood by your audience. This current thread is out of character for you, and from what I’ve seen elsewhere, you’re better than this.

          I’m going to chalk this one up to you having a bad day and end the conversation here. I hope your day gets better, friend.

            As long as it’s pretty clear to you, that must be it.

            And as I told someone else on another thread, there’s no such thing as a good day.

            By the way, I don’t remember claiming victory. You’ll have to point out when I did that and what I claimed victory over since I can’t remember the last time I had a victory in my life and, while it likely won’t brighten my day since that’s not a thing that happens, you never know.

              You’re alive and breathing. I’m glad you’re here. Your loved ones and family care deeply for you. Apart from all other challenges in life, that’s a good day.
