Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...

The 'A Tesla caught fire' argument reminds me of the fuss when Mr. Musk took one puff of a joint on that interview show. (Granted a silly thing to do.) It lasted maybe 30 seconds in well over an hour of content. Yet that is all that is focused on.
Ignore the big picture, focus on the negative detail. Based upon that standard we would still be riding horses and shoveling manure every day. Well, maybe some of us might have a bicycle. But, bikes get flat tires don't they? Keep the horse and keep shoveling.
FWIW, I drive a hybrid, and don't own an EV or directly own stock in any EV maker. I have no plans to do either. I do eat the popcorn.
