Why do Tesla electric cars keep bursting into flames and colliding with other vehicles?

Why do Tesla electric cars keep bursting into flames and colliding with other vehicles?



The first Tesla incident of this trio occurred in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where a Tesla Model S experienced a “horrific crash” involving three young people. The vehicle reportedly slammed into a wall and caught fire, its lithium-ion battery bursting into flames

*Snip*

.....................


Back in February, there was actually a fifth incident involving a crash and explosion of a Model S under similar circumstances in Indianapolis, which resulted in the woman driver and her boss both dying. Like the other incidents, there was simply no escaping the fiery inferno, which basically reduced the vehicle to a melted pile of metal and rubble.


*Snip*

Following the most recent crash and explosion of the Tesla Model S in Germany, officials from the local fire department pegged these batteries as a very serious problem. Most gas-powered vehicles, when involved in a high-speed crash, don’t spontaneously combust and burst into flames because they’re not prone to what’s known as “thermal runaway.”


 
Every bursted bubble has a glory!
Each abysmal failure makes a point!
Every glowing path that goes astray,
Shows you how to find a better way.
So every time you stumble never grumble.
Next time you'll bumble even less!
For up from the ashes, up from the ashes, grow the roses of success!
Grow the roses!
Grow the roses!
Grow the roses of success!
 
Dying in a car like that is what it was like when Gus and his friends died, No thanks.


Jan. 27, 1967: 3 Astronauts Die in Launchpad Fire



Once the test was underway, Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were strapped into their seats when a voltage fluctuation occurred. Grissom was heard shouting "Fire!" and White followed immediately with "We've got a fire in the cockpit."

It was all over within 30 seconds, perhaps the longest half-minute in NASA's history. Pandemonium broke out as the capsule filled with flames and toxic smoke, and Chaffee could be heard yelling, "Let's get out! We've got a bad fire! We're burning up!"

Screaming was heard ............
