who in the world can tell the material of the thing you just run over on the highway?

That said, I've seen more Lamborghini and lotuses on the highway bursting in flames than model S's (Ss? Ses?)

And

> Statistically, there have been fewer fatalities with Model S than the average for the number of miles driven

Biggest fallacy ever read here. Most car accidents happens when people are traveling large distances or coming back from unusual places such as parties and bars (not home-work commute) and the Tesla and other low range electrical nowadays are mostly commute machines. (yeah they can be used for those things, but 99% of the people that actually buys them do not)
