Whether you like 'em or not....they are definitely a wave of the future.
Not sure what I think about the whole idea myself. Still have the rear luggage boot which is nice. It's pretty slick the bolt in rear cradle that holds some of the batteries, Tesla motor, cooling, etc. The "custom" look is pretty bad as to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJTNsH-SIqk |

WHO is training the local fire departments to handle these wonderful batteries? Oh yeah, isn't disposal on the same level as toxic waste. Are you going to put them with nuclear waste?

WHO is training the local fire departments to handle these wonderful batteries? Oh yeah, isn't disposal on the same level as toxic waste. Are you going to put them with nuclear waste? yep. germany has already banned full EVs with lithium ion batteries from most standard height multi storey car parks. can't get the fire trucks in to douse a battery fire. its under assessment here too. i was involved with an apartment building that had a car stacker in the design. the fire brigade took part in all reviews of it. basically the car park had to be treated as a giant oven. fully fire isolated from surrounding structure at all points. the philosophy was let it burn and when its finished scrape it all out afterwards. no way were they sending the firemen in to fight a fire if a battery went up in the stacker. see that ship that burned a few months ago? the electric motors are fine. but it has to be said that elon musk forced everyone's hand on the batteries. and i don't think it was a very good call. but that may change in the decades down the track. i deal with clients who want tesla wall batteries and car chargers incorporated into their houses. it does not even occur to them there are dangers. once the discussions around the design of the house get real serious its interesting watching them not hesitate to agree to a fire isolated garage structure for both the wall battery and the car.
