    Two things about these incidents of Teslas catching fire:

    1. It’s a tough one to investigate, because of course the motive might be political, but also Teslas just •do that• spontaneously on their own. (I hope nobody who owns one ever ever parks it in an attached garage!)

    2. At some point, I have to imagine that the fires (both spontaneous and sabotage) are going to do wild things to the insurance rates for these vehicles. Owners selling at a loss might still end up saving money.

          @inthehands@hachyderm.io considering that insurance companies are likely one of the more data driven companies out there, I like to think that insurance rates for Teslas have already been "adjusted" upward.

          Software glitches, chemical fires, doors that don't open during power failure, self-driving shenanigans, the list goes on.

            There are always two sides to things, so comparing them helps. I do the same when checking options like mcdonald catering services to see what actually works best.
