Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

I been tryin' to tell you guys...
Tesla car battery 'spontaneously' catches fire on California freeway, requiring 6,000 gallons of water to put it out
I've owned at least one car every year since 1966 and none have ever burst into an uncontrollable inferno.

I'm just sayin'

You are clearly missing out of one of the 21st century's greatest experiences. Buy yourself a Tesla; you might become the "hottest" guy in Nebraska!
Proud owner of a Flat6-powered 2002 996 Cab, 2016 GT4, 2019 Ford F-150 "Country Cadillac", and 2005 Ford Focus (not so hot hatch) daily driver. And a Wright ZTO 52" to keep several acres of grass-like substance neat and tidy!

Thanks for the idea, but I'll take a hard pass. Besides my "hot" days are long behind me.

Looks like their fix to battery fires is to have your steering wheel fall off :shock:

If you open the guy's tweets, Tesla Service asking why he had it towed in is hilarious. My response would have been "you should see when you pull it into the shop".
