I can imagine the pollution an exploding EV creates in a flood situation ,not just an oil slick but all kinds of toxic slurry.

Just think about all the oil tanks that got washed away and all the oil that

went into the streams and rivers..

The petroleum oils are broken down by natural bacteria, Alcanivorax, Pseudomonas, and Rhodococcus.

What organism eats heavy metals from all the rechargeable batteries busted and ground up in flood waters and makes them safe ?

I have family, but no word if they are even alive yet. I find it hard to believe they wouldnt rescue others. It goes against our nature.

Just now heard from relatives in a text but battery was too low for any details so obviously without power.

I wonder about that because my monthly Medicare deduction from my Social Security was reduced this year. They said it was because they overestimated last year and withheld too much, so they credited the overage to this year. And I can see the slight increase in my monthly check above what the cost-of-living percentage increase alone would have given me.

Both my mother and stepmother have said they're secondary insurance premiums doubled. Is that for everyone? Or unrelated govt wise?

I think those are through insurance companies, so not gov related.

I think this is just another leftist company showing its displeasure at Musk supporting Trump. Other EV's burst into flames at a much higher rate than Teslas do, so this is purely political in my eyes.

They bought the wrong Tesla ... They need a M Y not a M 3...

When he remembers an event where a prisoner had to moved a great distance ...

This was years ago go, the outlier case... Use the right vehicle for the job....

It's why we have vehicles of all sizes and capabilities....

You don't haul 25+ tons of coal with a Yugo GV or Chevette...

They will have to test and try till they find a proper vehicle...
