> edit: I'm aware of the statistics about gasoline vehicle fires, guys.

It doesn't matter. You'll be lectured none the less.

I had someone ask me about electric vehicle fires just before the holiday. She is worried because her son has a preorder deposit on a Tesla Cybertruck. I told her they were safe; fires are unlikely, and ICE cars burn too. That won't stop the worry; you can't tell people anything.

Bottom line is people believe they're dangerous. I knew that would happen and said so: Telsa et al. needed to do the necessary education before the inevitable headlines hit. They didn't, so here we are. Got modded into the dirt for predicting this.

Go ahead, smash that down button. You can't tell people anything.
