Anyone planning to get buried in their Tesla?

[brianman]

Well, if getting buried in the specialy made Harley casket took 4 or more plots, the Model S will certainly take many more... And around here plots are about $2,500 each, so nope, wouldn't be worth spending for 8 or more plots all together (not to mention the specialy made cement vault you would also require). A much better use is to give it to one of your relatives, or donate it to a charity to auction off.

It's a bit morbid but...

If a Model X fits 7 adults, you can fit 7 adults in those 8 plots so it's not that much of a cost premium.

Not really, all 7 would need to die at the same time.
They don't typically reopen a grave, once they've had the burial.

Hence the morbid characterization.

Uhm, you could get eight in the Model X.
Seven upright + One in the frunk...

No cost premium for the eight plots.

Tesla is a disruptive company.

Anyway, I suggest a Tesla-style cremation. Friends stuff your corpse into your frunk, then drive around until they find the right kind of debris.

Or maybe not get buried. Get frozen and cryogenicially preserved until the Earth has only EV's and the Mars colony is self sustaining.

Personally I plan on donating my body to science.

If you do decide to get buried in your Tesla, have your Family sell the battery out of it to pay for the additional plots!

I'm not sure we know that yet. We haven't seen a production frunk yet for Model X. I agree it's pretty likely though.

And the eulogy will say, "he was practical in the end"..

Any Dr. Frankenstein fans want to hazard a guess at how much energy was used in his "successful" attempt?

When it's time to go, I'll just hook a hose to the tailpipe and... oh... wait... Guess that's the one advantage of ICE over electric.

I was wondering what everyone was going to do with their ICE cars after the EV revolution makes their resale value plummet. Black market ICE assisted suicide. You are a genius!

Came across this article about a guy so dedicated to his Harley that he asked to be buried in it. I wonder if there are any Tesla fans that would ask for this?'

How sad someone would be so selfish in a world where there is still so much need. A pine box more than meets the need.

In the latest Frankenstein movie "I, Frankenstein"' they had to use 15,000 Joules

I expect something like the CRT situation. If you saw the writing on the wall, you donated or otherwise discarded your CRT. Now you have to pay a fee to get of them.

Let's see. Random web converter says 15,000 Joules = 0.004166... kWh. So you can create 20,000+ Frankenstein monsters from a fully charged 85 kWh Model S.

I think we found the (future) source of the zombie apocalypse.

Over here they do. Every time a new family member has to be buried. We don't use a new grave for every new burial. Especially if the grave is a tomb anyway, like the one my paternal side of the family tree "uses". But judging by the size of that tomb, I would need to get me a Smart ed to be buried in, not a Model S. At least that's Tesla tech too... :wink:
