Patrick, read about the crash
Patrick, read about the crash in Mexico with the tesla model s. High speed crash, jumped a curb, through concrete wall, then hit a tree. Driver was drunk, and literally ran away from the accident. Once fireman arrived on scene, once the first drop of water hit the car, the flames and fire were out in 10 seconds exactly. Entire car didn't burn up like a gas car. And driver lived. Same for the other 2 incidents you bring up. Many videos and photos online of ice cars with debris that penetrated the floor and came up through a seat. So tesla may actually protect its occupants with the battery. Better to have a fire from battery penetration than the object come through and kill someone.
