Exactly. Good luck sweeping back the tide.

This deserves an "we regret there was some kind of malfunction with a SAM system" without any actual apology.
Well, that is funny.
However the battery didn't explode, the truck bed was full of gasoline cans and fireworks.
And the steel body of the truck bed actually did a great job of containing the explosion, focusing it mostly upward. The sheriff points out that the windows in the all glass front of that hotel weren't even shattered because the blast was so well contained by the truck.
Is that bad? (Actual question) I mean the f-150 is probably the most popular truck model ever. So I wouldn't think it's an unfavorable comparison.
Well, it's certainly a different beast. Being a pickup, the chassis is higher off the ground than other teslas. The problem with other teslas was insufficient armor on the underbody, so road debris could puncture through the vehicle and damage batteries. On a pickup there's both more room for (essentially) an armor plate and any debris would have to punch much higher up.
All and all, these kinds of battery fires should be much less likely to occur on a truck than on a sedan.
Edit: Upon actually watching that press conference from the sheriff and fire marshall, it seems clear to me from the language they're using, that they're treating this explosion as likely an intentional act. And I have to say, there's a lot of damning evidence in that truck bed.
Hey, only for continuing to engage with an off the rails discussion. But your arguments are articulate and on point.
Those deviations "may, in particular, include appropriate jeans matching the jacket", the new rules state.
This just in, the dress code for the FIDE chess competition now allows for contestants to wear "Canadian tuxedos", matching denim pants and jackets.
That's exactly what I'm saying... If you live near a nuclear power plant, you're a potential target. Cause the bomb doesn't destroy the plant, it destroys the city it's in and several towns around it.
The plant is a target because hitting the plant makes the power go out for the whole region, but your problem is the warhead. Meltdowns don't factor in at any point.
Sure, but a nuclear power plant could be a potential target. The nuclear warhead is the concern.
Does it force staffers to out congressmen? I wonder how things would change if that were slipped into the bill?
That follows. That would certainly confirm the police's initial assessment that this seemed like a deliberate act, not an accident or a car problem.
It's funny how fast people are to throw Tesla under the bus. I mean I hate musk too, but the problem here was clearly not the cybertruck... Blaming an ugly car is missing the point.
This was a political statement. It was self immolation. And it was notably blowing up a Musk-mobile at a Trump tower.
