... About 30-45 seconds later, there was a warning on the dashboard display saying, "Car needs service. Car may not restart." I continued to drive, hoping to get home. About one minute later, the message on the dashboard display read, "Please pull over safely. Car is shutting down." I was able to fully control the car the entire time and safely pulled off the left shoulder on the side of the road. I got out of the car, and started to get all my belongings out. About 5-10 seconds after getting out of the car, smoke started to come from the front underbody of the car. I walked away from the vehicle to a distance of about 100 yards. More smoke started to come out of the bottom of the car, and about two minutes after I walked away, the front of the car caught on fire. I am thankful to God that I was totally uninjured in any way from this impact. Had I not been in a Tesla, that object could have punched through the floor and caused me serious harm. From the time of impact of the object until the time the car caught fire was about five minutes. During this time, the car warned me that it was damaged and instructed me to pull over. I never felt as though I was in any imminent danger. While driving after I hit the object until I pulled over, the car performed perfectly, and it was a totally controlled situation. There was never a point at which I was anywhere even close to any flames.... Oh, the humanity! Ban electric cars! For the children!!!

Hit a trailer hitch laying in the road and it damaged something, leading to the fire. Certainly not the hyped "Tesla burst into flames without explanation!" news stories that have been in the media. Guess there may need to be an engineering review to see where skid plates are needed to prevent future repeats of this sort of incident.

I'd still drive a Tesla if I could afford one. Yeah, it's all electric, but it has a range of 270 miles. It would be perfect for trips around town. Longer drives can be made when Tesla finishes the quick charge stations on the interstate system.
Apparently most luxury car makers are losing customers to Tesla. Tesla just needs to reinforce the battery pack and they should be good to go. |

One local case that stuck in my mind was a local guy with a tuned up Audi ran over a bicycle that fell in the middle of the highway. The bike severed a oil line, the oil got onto the exhaust headers and caught fire. Within a minute the car was engulfed in flames, etc etc. If I wasn't dirt broke i would've invested in Tesla when the news of this broke. We're just at the infancy of the technology and it's already amazing. With more time and investment, it's only going to get better. |

A Tesla starts in the high 60k range. Quite affordable to about 20% of the population considering a F250 Diesel can top 55k easily. The National Fire Protection Association said U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 152,300 car fires per year between 2006 and 2010. Elon Musk is a genius, he will figure it out. Tesla sold more luxury cars in California last month than any other luxury brand. Period. And no, I'm not a tree hugger. |

I was driving home from work one evening, 3 or 4 cars behind a Porsche 911. It started smoking badly and came to a stop several hundred feet past where I noticed the smoking start. The driver jumped out as five feet flames burst from just behind the passenger compartment. This was on PCH northbound in Santa Monica. The smoking started in the McClure tunnel and the driver barely got out of the tunnel before the flames appeared.
I wouldn't object to owning a 911 or a Tesla Model S. |

I am a firm believer the the Model S is not just the best electric car, but quite simply, it is the best car on the road today. Driving one redefines what you think a car can be. It is unfortunate that they are so expensive, and out of reach of most people, but the same can be said for its rivals (Audi A8, BMW M5, Panamara, ect.)

Tesla has done what no other car company has been able to do at this point in time. I bet GM loses money on the Volt. I'd like to see money GM spent developing the Volt and what Tesla spent on the Model S. I know Tesla took out a government loan, but they've paid it back. Apples to Apples comparison in my opinion. |

I used to own an '96 Vette in 2000, I hit a huge big rig tire at night, it pushed the front up and dislodged the drivetrain and transmission housing. It cost over 5k to fix, but I had a $200 deductible. It was no Tesla S, the fucker almost killed me when I was stuck in the middle of the freeway at night without power.
Here's a picture of it when I was visiting relatives, I miss it. It had a ProCharger, headers/exhaust,and a modified LT4.
