Let me ask you, do you want to worry your car could catch fire while youre driving? Its so bad that firefighters are recommending everyone with an EV have a plan in place.

“If you hear popping or whooshing or you have a really bad smell like off-gassing… you should pull over. You should get out; you should move away to a safe distance and definitely call 911,” Lozinsky explained. “You should have a mental game plan if that happens; you should think about seconds not minutes.”

Looks like to maintain EVs on the roads, fire departments need to upgrade from 500 gallon capacity to 2000 gallon per truck. Will also need more trucks ready to go. Can you imagine how many fire trucks will be needed in a future where EVs represent an actual large portion of the fleet? Yikes!

“On a normal traditional vehicle you need one or two firetrucks, but in some EV situations we’re talking for five and six trucks,” Lozinsky said. “Firetrucks typically carry 300 to 500 gallons of water, and if you’re needing thousands, obviously you need much more equipment on scene.”

“It takes upwards of 45 minutes to put out an EV fire, where it may be five or 10 minutes for traditional vehicles,” he added.

He said there is also a danger that a battery fire could reignite after it’s been extinguished.

Tesla goes out of control hitting a hydrant and tree, burns its occupants alive as their friends try desperately to get them out.

It was learned that a speeding Tesla crashed into a fire hydrant at Macarthur Boulevard and Grant Lane Road in Tracy at 9.45pm on Friday night, then crashed into a tree and burst into flames.

Behind their car, their other friends were coming in another car, who tried hard to save their friends, but the car got locked and they could not do anything because of the flames.

Tesla suffers SUA and drives into a parking garage wall.

I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.

Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue
The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their softening, fracturing, and complete breaking. Keep in mind how much metals are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete.

This is the reason to suspect the Tesla may have suffered SUA.

New information received by the NHTSA shows that sudden unintended acceleration events with Tesla EVs were real and not driver errors. The report explains in detail what caused the cars to accelerate even when the accelerator pedal was not pressed.

What's worse is that the incorrectly increased sensor signals will be sent via the CAN bus to the vehicle logs, causing Tesla and NHTSA to conclude that the driver caused the sudden increase in torque by stepping on the accelerator pedal. But in this case, the sudden acceleration was caused not by the driver stepping on the accelerator pedal but by a random superposition of a negative-going voltage spike (which is about 100 microseconds long), and the sampling time of the analog-to-digital converter (which is about 10 microseconds long). This random superposition explains the low occurrence rate of sudden acceleration in Tesla vehicles

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/breaking-nhtsa-petition-shows-tesla-s-sudden-unintended-acceleration-is-real-and-curable-217525.html

As posted previously this new petition will likely be dismissed as I don't think Teslas SUA problem is easily fixed as Dr. Belt suggests. Furthermore, Tesla is aware of its SUA problem, trying to fix it, and hasnt managed to yet.

What can cause the random negative voltage spikes is from induced currents from Electromagnetic Interference. As explained in the following quote, E3 wave (which is similar to conditions during a geostorm) causes voltage depression in power lines and it seems in Tesla system as well. Like regulators at a substation, Tesla system seems to try to make up for this voltage depression causing voltage spikes leading to SUA and logs recording high accelerator pressure even though the driver hasn't touched the accelerator.

E3 can also affect subtransmission and distribution systems by causing harmonic distortion and voltage depression. The voltage regulators at the substation will attempt to correct for low voltage levels on distribution circuits. This attempt can result in overvoltages when the E3 stimulus decays to a low value

Marietta Square restaurant cleaning up after car crashes into storefront

MARIETTA, Ga. — A Marietta Square restaurant is picking up the pieces after a car smashed into its storefront on Wednesday.

The incident happened at Taqueria Tsunami, after a Tesla drove across the sidewalk and into the business. Marietta Police told 11Alive they responded to the scene, and were told by the driver they had "intended to press the brake pedal and hit the gas instead."

I wonder if the driver only thinks they hit the wrong pedal?

Analysts cut 3Q delivery estimates on Tesla (TSLA)
By: Investing.com | September 29, 2023

Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are up in pre-market trading Friday despite estimates being cut by analysts from three different firms today.

Citi reiterated a Neutral rating and $278 price target on the electric automaker ahead of the company’s 3Q delivery report.

Citi analysts cut delivery estimates for the company’s 3Q to 450k from 468.5k, leading to a reduced EPS estimate of $0.75 from $0.81. The updated estimates reflect recent weekly China data, as well as the latest global Tesla registration data.

Citi remains constructive on Tesla’s strong global premium EV position. However, the analysts are skeptical on the company’s FSD/AV approach, which they view as “a critical input to the overall risk/reward assessment” given Citi’s positive stance on the AV opportunity.

Piper Sandler also cut delivery estimates for the automaker’s 3Q. Slashing estimates from 515k+ to 445k units, citing downtime in Shanghai and Austin as the reason for the change.

Tesla halted activity at its plants in Shanghai and Austin in preparation for launching their updated Model 3 and Cybertruck.

“Deliveries had been surprisingly strong up until recently,” wrote Piper Sandler analysts, “but the impact of shutdowns is now evident in weekly data.”

Piper reiterated their Overweight rating and $300 price target on the stock as they believe the intentional shutdowns should not be interpreted negatively. According to Piper Sandler analysts, “if Q3 results are a "miss," we doubt TSLA will sell off.”

Barclays reiterated an Equalweight rating on Tesla with a 12-month price target of $278 on the stock after adjusting 3Q delivery estimates down to 450k from 468.5k. The cut led Barclays to also trim EPS estimates for the quarter to $0.75 from $0.81.

The electric automaker is likely to report 3Q delivery results on Monday, October 2nd.

Shares of TSLA are up 1.52% in pre-market trading Friday morning.

And investors wonder why the stock keeps dropping. 😕

That doesn't include any of the countless lawsuit payouts.

It also doesn't include the MONSTER workplace violations payout heading their way from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit filed Thursday.

"If the federal government gets involved, it certainly adds credibility to the claims," said Stephen Diamond, a law professor at Santa Clara University, who noted that he has advised investors on social responsibility at Tesla.

"Major institutional investors like pension funds will be very concerned about this type of behavior," he said.

About two weeks ago, a storage facility in San Diego spontaneously combusted just like Teslas facility.


Fire at Valley Center solar battery storage facility prompts brief evacuation

A fire broke out in the battery storage unit of a renewable energy developer in Valley Center on Monday evening, forcing road closures and evacuation orders, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

The fire started around 5:15 p.m. and personnel with the Valley Center Fire Department and SDSO arrived on the scene. The facility's design systems have kept the incident contained, Terra-Gen said.

As a precautionary measure, those living or working within a quarter-mile of the Terra-Gen Energy Storage Facility were ordered to evacuate, according to Terra-Gen

Federal Lawsuit Accuses Tesla of Racial Discrimination

NY Times -- Sept 28, 2023

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit accusing the carmaker of mistreating Black employees at its factory in California.

A federal agency on Thursday filed a lawsuit that accuses Tesla of discrimination against Black employees who it said were bombarded with racial epithets, given worse work assignments than white workers and fired when they complained.

Tesla managers were aware of the discrimination and verbal abuse, the lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission argues, but failed to do enough to stop it. The agency said it had sued after trying unsuccessfully to work out a plan with Tesla to address the discrimination.

The lawsuit is the latest to accuse Tesla of pervasive racism at its factory in Fremont, Calif., near San Francisco. This year, a jury awarded about $3.2 million to a Black man who had accused the carmaker of ignoring racial abuse he faced while working as a contractor at the factory.

A group of about 240 Black men and women who have worked at Tesla since 2016 have asked a judge to grant them class action status to pursue claims of racial discrimination, which included being routinely addressed as “slave,” “you people” and much worse.

California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which is now called the Civil Rights Department, the state’s agency responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws, has also sued Tesla, claiming among other things that Black workers are “severely underrepresented” in management positions.

“It is telling that every government agency and workers’ advocate who looks at this situation has the same reaction,” Bryan Schwartz, an Oakland lawyer who represents plaintiffs in the class action suit, said in an email. “Tesla’s racist harassment of and discrimination against Black workers is horrific, and unlawful, and must be addressed on a systemic, class-wide basis.”

Lawyers for Tesla did not respond to requests for comment.

In a 2022 statement in response to the California agency’s lawsuit, Tesla said it “strongly opposes” all forms of discrimination. The company described that case as “a narrative spun” by the state agency and plaintiffs’ law firms.

The suit by the E.E.O.C. accuses Tesla of violating federal law by “engaging and continuing to engage in discrimination against Black employees at the Fremont factory by subjecting them to severe or pervasive racial harassment and by creating a hostile work environment because of their race.”

“The racial misconduct was frequent, ongoing, inappropriate, unwelcome and occurred across all shifts, departments and positions,” the lawsuit says.

Black employees were addressed with a racial epithet on a daily basis, according to the lawsuit, which was filed by the commission’s San Francisco District Office. Racist graffiti, including swastikas and references to the Ku Klux Klan, was scrawled on desks and in bathrooms, elevators and even cars rolling off the assembly line, the complaint said.

Tesla managers witnessed the behavior and failed to stop it, according to the suit. Employees who complained were punished with unpleasant work assignments or fired, the lawsuit said.

One Black employee said he had been disciplined for playing music after complaining about the misconduct. Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive, has said Tesla employees are encouraged to play music on the assembly line and described the company as a “fun” place to work.

The commission’s lawsuit asks the federal court in Oakland to order Tesla to stop discriminating and retaliating against Black workers, and to compensate employees who have been mistreated. The suit also seeks punitive damages.

⚖️ MASSIVE NEW LAWSUIT FILED ⚖️

Tesla sued by federal gov for racial harassment, racist graffiti, slurs

WaPo -- Sept. 28, 2023

Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla allowed racial harassment of its Black employees to run rampant at its Fremont, Calif., plant and retaliated against some workers who complained, the federal agency charged with enforcing civil rights laws alleged in a lawsuit Thursday.
Get a curated selection of 10 of our best stories in your inbox every weekend.

Black employees routinely faced racial slurs, including variations of the n-word, at the Fremont site, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and graffiti depicting nooses, swastikas and more were casually drawn across the facility’s public spaces. Tesla did not immediately respond to request for comment.

The lawsuit is the latest in a series of allegations blasting the billionaire’s workplace environments — the Justice Department sued SpaceX, also owned by Musk, last month, alleging the company discriminated against refugees and asylum seekers in its hiring process. Half a dozen women sued Tesla in 2021, arguing that the company fostered a culture of sexual harassment. That same year, a federal court in California ordered Tesla to pay nearly $137 million in damages after an employee said they encountered racist abuse at Tesla’s Fremont site. The Fremont plant faced scrutiny again last year, when the state’s workplace regulator sued Tesla over similar claims of racial discrimination and harassment.

According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, since at least 2015, Black employees at the Fremont facility “have routinely endured racial abuse, pervasive stereotyping, and hostility as well as epithets such as variations of the N-word, ‘monkey,’ ‘boy,’ and ‘black b----.’”

“Slurs were used casually and openly in high-traffic areas and at worker hubs. Black employees regularly encountered graffiti, including variations of the N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks and other equipment, in bathroom stalls, within elevators, and even on new vehicles rolling off the production line,” the EEOC said in a news release announcing the suit.

The agency added that employees who objected to the hostility were terminated, transferred or had their job duties changed.

Racial misconduct spanned the company’s ranks, with managers, supervisors, line leads, production associates and temporary workers using racial slurs, the agency’s complaint stated. Black employees stated that non-Black workers used variations of the n-word “almost every day.” One employee described the n-word as his White co-workers’ and supervisor’s “preferred pronoun.”

“Every employee deserves to have their civil rights respected, and no worker should endure the kind of shameful racial bigotry our investigation revealed,” EEOC Chair Charlotte Burrows said in a statement.

Tesla’s Fremont site is the company’s first manufacturing facility, and where it continues to produce the company’s Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y. Tesla has since grown to include facilities in Nevada, Texas, New York, Shanghai and Berlin.

The lawsuit is filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The government seeks compensatory and punitive damages, back pay for the affected workers, and measures to reform Tesla’s employment practices.

“When you let a standard slip, you’ve set a new standard. Determining that prolific racial slurs do not merit serious discipline and failing to correct harassing conduct sends an entirely wrong message to employees,” EEOC San Francisco District Office Director Nancy Sienko said. “It also violates an employer’s legal responsibility to act swiftly and effectively to stop race-based harassment.”

Several different spontaneously combusting EVs and/or lithium batteries events occurred this month as the Russel-McPherron effect came into the picture. Its an effect that increases the geoeffective impact of solar storms in the three weeks leading up to and after the equinoxes. There seems to be a similar effect around the solstices too but to a lessor degree.

less known is the fact that the Russell–McPherron (R–M) effect strongly controls whether or not a given high-speed stream is geoffective.

Did up to 15 Teslas spontaneously combust in Germany at a dealership? Sounds like they did as this same thing happened in Sweden back in 2020.

While arson was claimed to be the reason for the fires in 2020 (also in 2017), arson was never actually shown to be the cause. Nikola claimed the same thing this year when at least 2 of its Semis spontaneously combusted and caught 2 other Semis on fire; one of the semis reignited weeks later. Theres been G2 geomagnetic storms the last few days, on and off, from 1 or more unexpected CMEs. Then these Teslas spontaneously combusted.

This time an environmentalist group has taken claim for this event, which I doubt. I suspect these cars did in fact spontaneously combust and some intelligence agency wrote the claim on some board that an environmental group is responsible as cover. This is twice the amount of Teslas that caught fire from Sweden and thus would be very bad for Teslas image if people realized their Teslas can just spontaneously combust. Sadly over 2 EVs spontaneously combust a month, that reach the media, and most of them are Teslas.

Surface electromagnetic fields, like whats seen during auroras, interact with lithium batteries causing abnormal dendrite buildup like seen in Arizona Battery plant fire in 2019. That abnormal dendrite growth can pierce battery separators leading to a short and thermal runaway.

Thermoelectric current causes asymmetric growth pattern of dendrites.

thermoelectromagnetic convection occurs in the vicinity of the solid-liquid interface, and vortices are generated between dendritic arms. It is shown that the thermoelectromagnetic convection has a major influence on dendritic morphology.

Cells taken at random from elsewhere in the battery system, and from its twin system at Festival Ranch, showed “lithium metal deposition and abnormal dendritic growth,” DNV GL notes.

"Because the evidence of Lithium metal deposition and abnormal dendritic growth was sufficiently present in the random samples that were analyzed, it was determined to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty to be the anomaly that caused the initial cell failure and ensuing thermal runaway," battery safety expert Davion Hill wrote in the APS report.
