This must be the silliest reason to sell a Tesla

1. You only have to worry about souces of ionizing radiation
   (non-ionizing radiation doesn't change anything, they can only slightly warm them up sometimes, like a sweater does)
2. Teslas emit zero ionizing radiation
3. By far the highest risk when driving a car is from an accident
4. Teslas are the safest cars on the road

dammit, now my testies are tingling

This has got to be a record-setting piece of troll work.

Tell her the same authoritative source has shown that talking on cellphones and being in front of TV are bigger causes of cancer!

Frankly, I'm surprised the "hockey mom" allows her kid to play. Frozen dihyrodgen monoxide (often found in hockey rinks) has killed countless people and animals!

 

[cabbie]

Just tell her that full hockey padding (preferably goalie) and a helmet will protect her.

I don't think all vaccines are bad, but some do come with known risks... read the inserts by the manufacturer... I assume you're familiar with guillain barre?

Few things in life are completely risk free. It’s all about weighing the risks.

GET a EMF measurement device, and show her the radiation levels while driving, then put near her cell phone, microwave, hairdryer, electric toothbrush etc etc. exposure over 2.5mGauss for long periods of time (several hours) is considered bad...

One sensitive instrument used in hard drive testing magnetic head readers (which are easily damaged) for EMI is a 3M EM Eye CTM048.

So I bought my wife a16 MS 75 a couple months ago and she absolutely loves it but after a brief conversation with one of the hockey parents my wife comes home and refuses to drive the car. She tells me she doest want it and to get her any other car but a Tesla or EV for that matter. Puzzled I ask why. She tells me that this hockey parent was also looking to switch from a Maserati but after extensive research found that the Tesla causes testicular cancer as well as Leukemia. Now i know that it's a bunch crock but how do I calm her down and keep from making what I think is a mistake by trading the Tesla? I personally think its silly but even if there's a 1% chance of it being true I cant have her driving the car as my kids(and of course my wife) spend most of their car rides in it. What do I do and how can I make her feel safe in it? Anyone?

 

[Hank42]

Let's help the OP present his case (for fun of course) New Wife or New Car?

 

[bishoppeak]

You had leukemia and then bought a Tesla. I had Hodgkin's Disease and then bought a Tesla (or two).

Based upon my exhaustive research, cancer causes Teslas.

Prostate cancer resulted in my P100D.

Get a restraining order against the person that told her that stuff. Convince your children that only sissy’s play hockey. Tell your family that anyone that can even spell Maserati May spread smallpox.. forget about the fore mentioned foil hat because research has shown that the glass roof filters out all harmful Alien rays. Sometimes we must fight fiction with fiction. We all know that a battle is most often won with like substances. Etc. fight fire with fire, and the age odd adage, P in the ocean.

this seems to happen when two uneducated people have conversations about things they know nothing about; end up making stuff up; it doesn't help when you don't have the knowledge to educate others in a conversation, stirring up debate; so "after a brief conversation", "this hockey parent" is a Tesla hater, & probably a bitter oil shill, that cant stand "ecosmug" & your wife is probably gullible based on the information provided, & didn't have any facts, no offense, but you can't drive a high tech elecric vehicle without someone being offended because they're driving a horse & buggy. If it were me I would get a new "hockey parent", & educate your wife on all the pros & cons (with reasons why) Tesla ownership is great (100%merican company, sustainable transportation) There is nothing more than a person that has made a poor decisions & that has influence over others, to place others in similar situations to make themselves feel better about their consequences.
I'm on my third EV (first Tesla Model S) so I have talked to many people wasting their words & energy for nothing; I tell them the facts offer a test drive in my car; the BS persists, have a nice day; windows 98 shutdown .wav in my head, I'm out ✌

This could be a good learning opportunity for your kids to think objectively. Have them research the concern.

The sooner your kids learn critical thinking skills, the better. Especially since it appears your wife may raise them with different “skills”.

So your wife trusts the other parent’s advice more than yours.

I supposed she probably skipped vaccinations for your kids too.

I think you have bigger problems than the car.

I’m sure the pollutants out of an ICE are more harmful than any EV.

Watch out she’ll be destroying your cell phones next. Same basic lithium ion battery tech.

 

[Scribbious]

I think you need to get her an aluminum foil hat to protect her from the the gamma radiation being sent to earth by the aliens.

I'm thinking that aluminum foil underpants might be more appropriate in this circumstance.

Remind her that she doesn't have testicles, so nothing to worry about!

 

[JenkinsEar]

I think you should just give it to the guy from Scotland that set up the GoFundMe page to fund a Model S so he could "save the world". These two lows of mental acuity belong together.

Mmmmm ... how much did he get? A friend wants to know.

 

[JenkinsEar]

... There is nothing more than a person that has made a poor decisions & that has influence over others, to place others in similar situations to make themselves feel better about their consequences...

Applies equally as well to the current political situation. I'm just sayin'...

 

[ForumLeech]

Not everyone can be reasoned with. Sometimes you have to come at it from a different angle. When my wife worries about absurd threats to our toddler's health I tell her to ask our pediatrician as if I have no idea. Maybe the Model S wife should ask her doctor about the cancer risks of a Tesla.
