Owner shoots Model S

Maybe the gun was used to extinguish the fire?

Dude GTFO with your BS. If guns scare you don’t own one. You worry too much.

By the way just because I disagreed with your post (#2) doesn’t mean you need to go into other unrelated posts of mine and throw around the thumbs down button

I’m so glad we could find a semi-auto related gun topic (pun intended) to get the barrel polishers all worked up into a froth.

Then the owner apparently sued Tesla. Which is incredible, but somehow not surprising. We don’t know the terms of the court settlement of that lawsuit. I hope that Tesla gave the owner nothing. If the bullet fired into the battery pack was an accident, Tesla owes the owner nothing.

Actually it looks to me like if it was an accidental firearm discharge it would be covered under the warranty:

To provide you with even more assurance, this Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty will also cover damage to your vehicle from a Battery fire even if it is the result of driver error. (Coverage will not extend to damage that had already been sustained before a Battery fire occurred, or to any damage if the Battery fire occurred after your vehicle had already been totaled.)

But maybe the firearm discharge was by a passenger and wouldn't be covered?

Hm. Ok, guess that puts you in the same boat

I think the “driver error” probably means a driving error while operating the car, like driving over a concrete block, driving the car off an embankment. I don’t think it refers to accidentally shooting the car with a firearm from inside the car.

I think that would be for the lawyers/court to decide. Are you saying that the driver taking his gun out of his holster to put it somewhere else in the car and accidentally discharging is not "driver error"? It doesn't say "driving error."

Autopilot doesn't kill people, water bottles on the steering wheel do.

FFIIIUUU! Thanks God I'm using an orange and not a water bottle!
