Tesla seeks sanctions after dousing car fire suit

[CatB]

Oo-Rah!!
I love this.
Don't tolerate bad behavior - somebody has to call those idiots out for trying to make a profit on misinformation and misleading people - especially when they showed no regard for us stockholders who they claimed to be representing (much less the hardworking employees in Tesla who did such an amazing job designing and building such a safe car - they absolutely don't deserve to be dissed like that).

Happy to see them sticking up for themselves as they should. Hopefully these kinds of douchebags will think twice before they try this again.

 

[TES-E]

Go get them!!! :biggrin:

The "sanctions" they are looking for are just defense lawyer fees. If the legal system was rational, this would automatically be awarded.

Yes!! This is the European tort system and should be adopted here!! The loser should automatically pay the costs of the winner in a tort case. This would STOP frivolous law suits...

Yeah, well, if anyone in the US cared about tort reform, they would vote for the political party that is constantly trying to reform it, and not for the party that is always trying to block it. But it doesn't seem to be an electoral priority...

I did not have to sign up to read it. Perhaps try googling the title.

If that were the only issue I would agree. Other issues tend to be a higher priority for most voters.

Try this:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...XI_nBuFrCW6QlGz3aqdabaw&bvm=bv.82001339,d.eXY

You can get the above link just by Googling the title of the article. This applies also to a lot of Wall Street Journal articles. The reason is that these websites want to get the search engine hits, but at the same time want people to pay to read their articles, so they hit you with the pay wall if you use a direct link.

same popup with that URL as well.

Did you delete your cookies before you tried the link?

 

[JohnMc]

I tried the link with the Firefox browser and got the popup but when I used the Google Chrome browser the original article appeared sans popup.

If you have Adblock (works for Firefox and Chrome) you can avoid most popups. For the ones that sneak past, you can right click to block individual objects/overlays.

Love the statistic about 1B miles vs 3 fires. Simply amazing!!

same popup with that URL as well.

I tested it and it seems it does only work on Chrome (which is what I was using) as JohnMc says.

The last resort is to just google the title and click the link there:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Tesla+seeks+sanctions+after+dousing+car+fire+suit
It only works after clearing cookies though.

Other way is to read the cached version:

who knows...

Maybe the fires were set-up anyhow... !?

Maybe the fires were set-up anyhow... !?

No. Just a vulnerability at the front of the pack to highway-speed collisions with road debris. The fires were dealt with safety (and thank you Internet and cameras on phones for showing how safe it was), but tank mode has now apparently stopped any problem at source.

At this point worries about the skateboard concept itself are gone, so now the challenge will be lowering the cost while maintaining fire the strength and fire prevention measures.

It was 1B kilometers (625M miles). But it is still amazing!

damn you metric, you got me again! Oh well, I'll just take a few more long road trips this year than I originally planned! lol

It could have been "research" considering the fact that one of the events was a couple miles from the Leaf factory.
