Tesla vehicles save drivers thousands, not to mention so much safer
Person dies after Tesla crashes, bursts into flames in Weston
FORT LAUDERDALE — A person is dead after a Tesla crashed and burst into flames in Weston early Sunday morning.
Around 3:30 a.m., Broward Sheriff's Office deputies and Fire Rescue were called to a vehicle fire near Bonaventure Road and State Road 84.
When they arrived, emergency crews found a Tesla "fully engulfed" in flames. Investigators told CBS News Miami that the car was involved in a single-vehicle crash.
Crews were able to put out the flames but unfortunately, the driver died.
ROCKS AND SOIL ELECTRIFIED BY THE SUPERSTORM: Across the USA on May 10th and 11th, sky watchers marveled at bright displays of aurora borealis during the biggest geomagnetic storm in decades. Little did they know, something was also happening underfoot.
Strong electrical currents were surging through rocks and soil. The biggest voltages along the US eastern seaboard and in the Midwest were as much as 10,000 times normal. A map from NOAA and the US Geological Survey shows some of the 'hot spots' during the early hours of May 11th:

Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.
Electric car drivers face astronomical costs to replace tyres
“I think more people should be aware that EVs have an appetite for tyres and they won’t last long,” he said.
“When I was working I was regularly doing 45,000 miles a year. If I had this car then, I’d be faced with paying £300 six times a year just to replace the rears, which would be astronomical.”
Mr Bassett said he will now think twice about buying an EV in the future due to his experience with premature tyre life. His front pair are now almost in need of a change after surviving only marginally longer than the rears.
The strain on EV tyres comes as a result of both the extra weight and higher torque, the twisting power that launches a car from a standing start.
More likely Tesla gets cut off from Shanghai after China goes for Taiwan than BYD entering the US market. That will really kill Teslas margins/profits and turn cash flow negative.
FSD AS ONE WOULD IMAGIN IT TO BE IS 10 YEARS OUT !!!
I HPOE YOU'RE PATIENT ENOUGH !! RIGHT NOW THIS STOCK IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY OVERPRICED
AND THE COMPETITION IS DESTROYING THEIR MARGINS; IF YOU HAVE NOTICED.
GOD FORBIDS BYD ENTERS THE US MARKET !! THEN IT'S ALL OVER.
SUPERIOR TECK FOR HALF THE PRICE, GO TO CHINA AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
SHORT HERE ANDCOVER AT 65 IMO.
There is nothing untrue about it. You can read stories on Teslamotorclub forum of people burning through tires in as little as 5k miles. No i dont think its because of weight as EVs are not that much heavier than ICE. I suspect it has something to do with EM radiation exposure and the metal wire in the tire. Interestingly there is little rubber in tires and instead they use alot of oil for production (~7 gallons of oil per tire = 6 tires per barrel). So theres another form of pollution just to keep EVs going every 5k miles. For decades, scientists and health officials have warned drivers of the harmful pollutants coming from tailpipes. But as car exhaust systems have become cleaner, pollution linked to heart and lung disease has increased from a different source: tires and brakes.
Why tires — not tailpipes — are spewing more pollution from your cars
Wear and tear on vehicles’ tires and brakes emit fine particles into the air, linked to heart and lung disease
In fact, wear and tear on tires and brakes have been shown to produce increasingly more particle pollution, by mass, than car exhaust systems did in several real-world and test scenarios. Some of the particles are large enough to see with our eyes. Others are fine particles (known as PM 2.5, with diameters up to 2.5 microns) and ultrafine particles (known as PM 0.1, with diameters of 100 nanometers), which can enter through our bloodstream and harm our organs.
Scientists say the issue will only grow worse as more cars, including heavier electric cars that put more strain on tires, are put on the road. Unlike car tailpipe emissions, brake and tire emissions are not regulated, which suggests the pollution may continue unchecked for the foreseeable future.

The next iteration of FSD will be hand free (with some asterisk behind that). I talked with a Tesla employ driving a CT at the Junction, Tx supercharger. He was totally hyped about the next FSD as well as August 8th. I am now paying a lot more attention to that August 8th date now. I have found that the new FSD is far beyond the glitchy one I used last summer. I will be extending my free trial (the High Command has agreed this time) for the next 5 months at least. Finally got the price down to a level that I can afford.
ROFL.... Every thing stated here is totally wrong and just MSM FUD. BEV's will replace ICE in the long run.
I did google this mass of unsold Telsa's piling up in Mall lots. There were none, but then I knew that already. Texas has slowed the production of Model Y's at this point and making Cyber Trucks as fast as they can (perhaps too fast still listening to some of the complaints. Just talked to a Tesla Employ on Wed and we is very excited about the next FSD "hands off" version coming in the next 2-4 weeks depending on area. He was even more excited about August 8th. (I was not really paying much attention to it but after that, I am,) I am still not a fan of Robltaxi yet, but we will see.
Get out of this political season and see what next year brings to the EV shift in driving. If interest rates can be brought back down, all the car companies can do better. BEV's will replace ICE in the long term.
Tesla Glitch Forces Brad Pitt to Ditch Electric Vehicle Renowned actor Brad Pitt was involved in a multi-car accident this May in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. The incident, which could have had serious consequences, occurred when the actor, behind the wheel of his Tesla Model S, rear-ended a silver Nissan, which in turn hit a Kia in front of it.
Brad Pitt's Tesla Malfunction Prompts Safety Concerns
While the accident could have been due to human error, the investigation revealed a malfunction in the Tesla's autonomous driving system. This incident has undoubtedly left a mark on Brad Pitt and will likely influence his future decision regarding whether to continue driving vehicles of this brand.
While Brad Pitt has remained silent about the accident publicly, he has not been spotted driving his Tesla Model S since the incident. Instead, he has been seen in other electric vehicles, but without the self-driving technology. This incident appears to have shaken the actor, who, despite still supporting the use of electric cars, has decided to avoid autonomous driving technology for the time being due to fears of a repeat accident.
The actor's accident serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements, autonomous driving is not yet without its risks. It is crucial for drivers to be aware of the limitations of this technology and to always be prepared to take control of the vehicle if necessary to prevent accidents like this one.

Belfair driver dies in car crash along Hood Canal Wednesday, State Patrol says
A 50-year-old Belfair woman died in a car crash Wednesday while traveling along Hood Canal in Mason County. The crash occurred at about 7:30 p.m. at milepost 18 of State Route 106 near Sunset Beach, according to a Washington State Patrol press memo. State Patrol identified the woman as Letricia E. Macomber of Belfair. The memo says she lost control of her Tesla vehicle and left the roadway to the right while traveling west. The vehicle reportedly struck a power box and multiple trees before coming to a rest in a ditch. The memo lists “speed” as the cause of the collision but notes it’s still unknown if drugs or alcohol may have been involved. Macomber’s vehicle was totaled in the crash.
With the rise of self-driving car technology, it's possible that computer systems on these vehicles could malfunction due to cosmic rays. What if, during an automated trip, imagery from a camera mounted at the front of the car became corrupted and the on-board computer failed to spot a person walking out in front of the vehicle?
However, the research is yet to be published and he says he's not allowed to reveal what the starting level of accuracy was during the experiments.
Such interventions could make self-driving cars of the future safer but they wouldn't eliminate the possibility of a cosmic ray causing other problems. And this raises an interesting conundrum for insurers.
"In a world of fully autonomous vehicles, how can you prove the accident happened because of cosmic rays?" says Rech. "That is very challenging. I mean, it's impossible, by definition." In ambiguous cases, disputes over whether a human or technology manufacturer – or space weather – was at fault might be difficult to resolve

Tesla flies off I-5 in Castaic
A Tesla veered off Interstate 5 and took out a fence, a pole and a light standard before landing near The Old Road at Pinta Lane on Sunday morning in Castaic, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The vehicle was believed to be traveling northbound on I-5 before the crash and landed on the embankment at the lower crossover at The Old Road and Lake Hughes Road, said Officer Elizabeth Kravig, a spokeswoman with the CHP.

But after less than 5,000 miles of driving around his Boca Raton neighborhood, Semel was shocked to find some essential — and very expensive — parts were already wearing out. The tires. “If somebody looked at me and said, Mr. Semel, you are going to love this car but in about 7,000 miles you will have to pay 1,400 or 1,500 dollars to replace the tires, I wouldn’t have bought the car,” Semel said. For many drivers of EVs in Florida — the nation’s second largest market for electrical vehicles — premature tire wear has become an unexpected black mark on vehicles promoted as a green climate-friendly option to gas-gulping cars.
At EV Garage Miami, a Sweetwater repair shop that services 90 percent electric vehicles, lead technician Jonathan Sanchez said tires are the most frequent thing customers come in about — no matter what model or make of EV they’re driving. Tire mileage can vary widely of course, but he said he frequently changes EV tires at just 8,000 to 10,000 miles — a fourth or even fifth of typical tire wear on a gas-burning car.
And if you draw your power from alternative energy sources it isn’t even close.

Are electric vehicles definitely better for the climate than gas-powered cars?
Listen with Speechify
Yes: although electric cars' batteries make them more carbon-intensive to manufacture than gas cars, they more than make up for it by driving much cleaner under nearly any conditions.
October 13, 2022
Although many fully electric vehicles (EVs) carry “zero emissions” badges, this claim is not quite true. Battery-electric cars may not emit greenhouse gases from their tailpipes, but some emissions are created in the process of building and charging the vehicles. Nevertheless, says Sergey Paltsev, Deputy Director of the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, electric vehicles are clearly a lower-emissions option than cars with internal combustion engines. Over the course of their driving lifetimes, EVs will create fewer carbon emissions than gasoline-burning cars under nearly any conditions.
“We shouldn't claim victory that with this switch to electric cars, problem solved, we are going to have zero emissions,” he says. “No, that's not the case. But electric cars are actually much, much better in terms of the impact on the climate in comparison to internal combustion vehicles. And in time, that comparative advantage of electric cars is going to grow.”
One source of EV emissions is the creation of their large lithium-ion batteries. The use of minerals including lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are crucial for modern EV batteries, requires using fossil fuels to mine those materials and heat them to high temperatures. As a result, building the 80 kWh lithium-ion battery found in a Tesla Model 3 creates between 2.5 and 16 metric tons of CO2 (exactly how much depends greatly on what energy source is used to do the heating).1 This intensive battery manufacturing means that building a new EV can produce around 80% more emissions than building a comparable gas-powered car.2
But just like with gasoline cars, most emissions from today’s EVs come after they roll off the production floor.3 The major source of EV emissions is the energy used to charge their batteries. These emissions, says Paltsev, vary enormously based on where the car is driven and what kind of energy is used there. The best case scenario looks like what’s happening today in Norway, Europe’s largest EV market: the nation draws most of its energy from hydropower, giving all those EVs a minuscule carbon footprint. In countries that get most of their energy from burning dirty coal, the emissions numbers for EVs don’t look nearly as good—but they’re still on par with or better than burning gasoline.
To illustrate how EVs create fewer emissions than their counterparts, Paltsev points to MIT’s Insights Into Future Mobility study from 2019.4 This study looked at comparable vehicles like the Toyota Camry and Honda Clarity across their gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and hydrogen fuel cell configurations. The researchers found that, on average, gasoline cars emit more than 350 grams of CO2 per mile driven over their lifetimes. The hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, meanwhile, scored at around 260 grams per mile of carbon dioxide, while the fully battery-electric vehicle created just 200 grams. Stats from the U.S. Department of Energy tell a similar story: Using the nationwide average of different energy sources, DOE found that EVs create 3,932 lbs. of CO2 equivalent per year, compared to 5,772 lbs. for plug-in hybrids, 6,258 lbs. for typical hybrids, and 11,435 lbs. for gasoline vehicles.5
MIT’s report shows how much these stats can swing based on a few key factors. For example, when the researchers used the average carbon intensity of America’s power grid, they found that a fully electric vehicle emits about 25 percent less carbon than a comparable hybrid car. But if they ran the numbers assuming the EV would charge up in hydropower-heavy Washington State, they found it would emit 61 percent less carbon than the hybrid. When they did the math for coal-heavy West Virginia, the EV actually created more carbon emissions than the hybrid, but still less than the gasoline car.
In fact, Paltsev says, it’s difficult to find a comparison in which EVs fare worse than internal combustion. If electric vehicles had a shorter lifespan than gas cars, that would hurt their numbers because they would have fewer low-emissions miles on the road to make up for the carbon-intensive manufacture of their batteries. Yet when the MIT study calculated a comparison in which EVs lasted only 90,000 miles on the road rather than 180,000 miles, they remained 15 percent better than a hybrid and far better than a gas car.
And while internal combustion engines are getting more efficient, EVs are poised to become greener by leaps and bounds as more countries add more clean energy to their mix. MIT’s report sees gasoline cars dropping from more than 350 grams of CO2 per mile to around 225 grams by the year 2050. In that same span, however, battery EVs could drop to around 125 grams, and perhaps even down to 50 grams if the price of renewable energy were to drop significantly.
“Once we decarbonize the electric grid—once we get more and more clean sources to the grid—the comparison is getting better and better,” Paltsev says.

I am at 15000 miles on a normal set of tires on an M class electric BMW.
Maybe they should drive better.
And particle emissions don’t affect greenhouse gases.
You are cherry picking data and putting up what one person says at a shop or one study that is an op ed.
Going to have to do better than opinion pieces.
Plus you are so biased you are looking for things to prove your point vs being objective
Pretending something is absurd is not denial. Heres some truth about how EVs pollute more than ICE. Different kind of pollution but still exceeds that of the pollution emitted by ICE (tailpipe/tire wear). Electric vehicles release more toxic particles into the atmosphere and are worse for the environment than their gas-powered counterparts, according to a resurfaced study. Electric vehicles are often heavier than regular gas-powered cars due to the weight of their engines, which can reach 1,850 pounds. The heavier engines place extra weight on the tires and cause them to wear out faster, according to the study. A 1,100-pound engine can cause more than 400 times the emissions as direct exhaust emissions.
EVs pollute more and cost more due to excessive tire wear. Consider having to replace your $1500 set of tires 1-2 times a year instead once every 5 years or so.
Electric vehicles release more toxic emissions, are worse for the environment than gas-powered cars: study
The study, published by emissions data firm Emission Analytics, was released in 2022 but has attracted a wave of attention this week after being cited in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Sunday.
It found that brakes and tires on EVs release 1,850 times more particle pollution compared to modern tailpipes, which have “efficient” exhaust filters, bringing gas-powered vehicles’ emissions to new lows.
Today, most vehicle-related pollution comes from tire wear.
Particle pollution from tires is the biggest contributor to vehicle-related emissions.
I have a hard time believing its simply weight that causes EVs to go through tires at, sometimes, an excessive pace. They are not that much heavier to cause the vehicles to go through tires in as little as 5k miles. My guess is it has something to do with the EM radiation that comes off EVs coupled with the metals in the tires.
“But you have this downside of EVs that increases particle pollution. Air pollution is about what we breathe and the health effects,” Molden said, assuring that the toxins in tires have much less impact on climate change than they do on “what we eat and are ingesting.”
Increased exposure to these toxins “can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease, asthma, and low birth weight,” according to the New York Department of Health, which noted that pollution from sources including vehicle exhaust can travel long distances from its source and still cause health issues at unhealthy levels.
“A lot of it [chemicals] goes into the soil and water, affecting animals and fish. And we then go and eat the animals and fish, so we are ingesting tire pollution,” Molden added.
But after less than 5,000 miles of driving around his Boca Raton neighborhood, Semel was shocked to find some essential — and very expensive — parts were already wearing out. The tires. “If somebody looked at me and said, Mr. Semel, you are going to love this car but in about 7,000 miles you will have to pay 1,400 or 1,500 dollars to replace the tires, I wouldn’t have bought the car,” Semel said.

Bot? LOL. Too funny.
Sure talking about the things that actually hurt society and make our lives worse is Bot material?
End of our thread
Anyone letting a car drive them on its own is an idiot IMO.
And sure you talk about nature yet EVs mitigate greenhouse gases and push for alternative power sources like solar and batteries.
So you believe in the advance of nature but think we should depend on gas cars and destroy the world?
dranesthesia1 you behave like a bot.
Yep reduce our dependence on tech. Have you ever seen or heard of the TV series/Book American Gods? Its interesting battle between science and nature. New gods are things connected to science and tech. Old gods are simply personifications of nature. Nature always wins in the end! Its happened before (Adams Event 42000 years ago) and its happening again. If you dont think mankind had advanced technology in the past then how do you explain pyramids, rocks precisely cut, not to mention a better understanding of the universe then we had until more recent times? Theres myths of advanced civilizations in the past like Atlantis but its even in the bible before Noah describing a civilization that spanned the globe even then. I recall as passage about a chariot of fire that went into the sky like a whirlwind which sounds alot like someone trying to describe a rocket to people without any reference to such technology. Described in better detail in apocrypha manuscripts not included. Basically nature wins!

When computers go wrong, we tend to assume it's just some software hiccup, a bit of bad programming. But ionising radiation, including rays of protons blasted towards us by the sun, can also be the cause. These incidents, called single-event upsets, are rare and it can be impossible to be sure that cosmic rays were involved in a specific malfunction because they leave no trace behind them.
And yet they have been singled out as the possible culprits behind numerous extraordinary cases of computer failure. From a vote-counting machine that added thousands of non-existent votes to a candidate's tally, to a commercial airliner that suddenly dropped hundreds of feet mid-flight, injuring dozens of passengers
Plus, since giant ejections from the sun can sometimes send huge waves of particles towards Earth, what's called space weather, an unnerving prospect looms: we could see much more disruption to computers than we're used to during a massive geomagnetic storm in the future
So what’s your solution? Get rid of computers, technicality?
Not going to happen. They will figure out a fix just like they always do with each and every problem that comes up with technological advances.
You think this is the first time that new technology has had issues.
You should be more concerned about our corrupt politicians, political elite locking the world in their houses to give them a vaccine that is dangerous, and the loss of gender clarity and family values.
That kills way more
So get rid of computers and all forward looking technology?
lol. Not going to happen. Science always wins and will do so here too
This isnt what IF, this is literally happening on a weekly basis. Now please actually address the points i made instead of going off about stuff completely unrelated. The self driving is bs anyway as it’s not going to be legal forever in the USA. And people kill exponentially more people than self driving software.

Yes this should be true, people killing more than self driving as there are sooooo many more people driving than self driving systems; like over well over 1 billion to a few 1 million or so? You need to look at the ratio of accidents per vehicle on the road..
If my hypothesis is correct about EMI causing self driving and EVs, especially, to glitch and go haywire, then the more self driving vehicles on the roads the greater the percent growth of them experiencing an accident. There will be variability based on the number of geomagnetic storms that occur. In general the accident ratio to vehicles on the road should increase at a faster rate than new cars being sold.
This doesnt have anything to do with first to market. Every year and model of Tesla experiences these SUA & sudden veer events that kill people caused by its technology glitching due to EMI! The problem will get worse as the earths magnetic field weakens further making cars that are more dependent on computer systems more dangerous than cars without.

First to market will have problems but they will be solved.
Also could you point out the car manufacturers without recalls or build problems or failures of some sort?
Great next.
They all have them with self driving.
I actually drove a Tesla yesterday for the first time and I own an electric BMW super car and the Tesla was hands down better.
The self driving is bs anyway as it’s not going to be legal forever in the USA. And people kill exponentially more people than self driving software.
People think the software should be perfect but no software is, hence why you have plane crashes from time to time when it’s the safest form of travel there is.
They make two best electric cars on the planet and their technology is hands down better battery wise

Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

TSDD(inverse) delivers results
To reinforce Tesla's veer issue, that seems to impact vehicles with/without AP enabled & every model and year, here are a few incidents that showcase Teslas behave just like that Vinfast EV the NHTSA is investigating (EVs are more dangerous than ICE!). I suspect that Tesla's emergency lane departure system combined with a possible GPS issue, as described in this first case study from 2019, cause this problem due to a glitch brought on by Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). A Tesla driver claims the autopilot feature on his car took over seconds before he veered off a New Jersey road, and he blamed the vehicle’s technology for the crash.
Here is the best description of this sudden veering ive seen to date:
The Tesla Model X veered to the right suddenly, and the steering wheel locked into place as a message appeared that a new lane was detected, Carter told police.
Police said the car went off-road, hit a curb, struck traffic signs and then drove over another curb before it stopped in a grassy area.
The Naples Police Department confirmed to NBC2 that the driver reported losing the ability to steer, which caused the vehicle to go off the road prior to being able to stop. Additionally, there are no pending charges for the driver.
“They hit the mailbox, and then they came across the curb, hit the fire hydrant, set it off, and then hit a bunch of their landscape,” she said. “They hit the fire hydrant, so it was going off like crazy. We would’ve had to dive in and try to rescue them from their vehicle, but it was literally just a small little tree and shrub that kept them from going into the canal.”
Dr. Alfred Valles, 50, and Selina Valles, 46, were killed at 9:30 p.m. Friday when they were traveling north on Friant Road and crashed into a tree in the middle divider of Friant near Rice Road, north of Champlain Drive.
Police confirmed Monday the vehicle involved was a Tesla. At the scene Friday night, police said the Valles were traveling at a high rate of speed and that a small fire was sparked near the site; it was extinguished quickly by the fire department.
For an unknown reason," according to police, the Tesla veered across the center lane and into the right lane, where it collided with the Ford pickup.
As a result of the collision, Vallier lost control of the Ford F250 and crossed the center lane into the left lane and, then, onto the grassy median, where it began to roll over, police said.
Heres how SUA can occur in Teslas from electromagnetic induce currents during geomagnetic unrest
causes the ground voltage to rise due to the voltage drop across RGND. This, in turn, causes the APP sensor output signal to rise without the accelerator pedal being pressed.
(5) The lack of adequate electrical isolation measures for power electronic equipment in DC distribution. If the grounding work in the DC power distribution system is not properly handled, electromagnetic circulation problems can easily cause leakage current when the system is running. The accumulated heat due to the leakage current in battery cabinets, cables et al. may cause local high temperatures, leading to potential fire of the batteries as a safety risk.
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
ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR FAULTY: CAUSE OF FAILURE
A failure could have a number of different causes:
Damaged cables or connections on the accelerator pedal sensor
Missing voltage and ground supply
Faulty electronic evaluation unit in the sensor
It's all because a bad throttle position sensor is sending garbled messages to the engine computer. You may experience:
Poor acceleration
Surging acceleration
Hesitation
Sudden acceleration when you are not pushing the gas pedal
I do know that he is always on jod EMF kick, having convinced himself that ev’s sre more prone to attack by EMF forced than IC cars. FINALLY I think I understand why.
Because they have larger computers!
fly-by-wire system which takes sensor input from the accelerator pedal
While most passenger vehicles older than about 15-20 years controlled the throttle with a cable connected directly from the throttle body to the accelerator pedal, most manufacturers have switched to a fly-by-wire system which takes sensor input from the accelerator pedal and sends that position information to the vehicle’s computer which in turn adjusts the throttle position. This might be slightly cheaper to manufacture, but introduces a much larger number of failure modes to a critical system.
[Colin] is recreating one of those failure modes by introducing an electromagnetic pulse at a specific point on the vehicle’s computer. In the real world, this could be caused by certain forms of EMF potentially including cosmic rays. This introduces a memory fault which the computer doesn’t seem capable of recognizing or clearing. With the right set of circumstances that [Colin] can reliably produce, the computer eventually will drive the throttle fully open, and the condition can only be corrected by power-cycling the vehicle’s computer.
When computers go wrong, we tend to assume it's just some software hiccup, a bit of bad programming. But ionising radiation, including rays of protons blasted towards us by the sun, can also be the cause. These incidents, called single-event upsets, are rare and it can be impossible to be sure that cosmic rays were involved in a specific malfunction because they leave no trace behind them.

NHTSA launches investigation into fatal accident involving VinFast VF8
The official complaint filed with the NHTSA on April 29 alleges that the issue could be due to issues with the steering wheel and lane assist, as the person reporting the complaint said that, on multiple other occasions, the vehicle’s steering wheel had automatically maneuvered out of the lane while lane assist had been engaged, though they had been able to regain control and correct the issue those times.
During the accident, the person said that their coworker had been driving at an unknown speed and had crashed into a pole, and then a tree where the car was stopped, before it caught on fire. The airbags in the car deployed, and the pole fell down upon impact. The contact said in the complaint that they were worried the previous steering failures had occured while their coworker had been driving.

No one hurt after Tesla crashes into martial arts schools
A local martial arts school is back open after the driver of a Tesla crashed into the Pine Township business on Monday night.
It was around 8:30 p.m. when a driver slammed into the front windows at Rothrock’s Kung Fu and Tai Chi on Perry Highway.
The front windows were shattered, sending glass flying inside, where an adult kung fu class was ongoing.

Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His father was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox church
and his mother managed the family’s farm. In 1863 Tesla’s brother Daniel was killed in a riding accident.
The shock of the loss unsettled the 7-year-old Tesla, who reported seeing visions—the first signs of his lifelong mental illnesses.

$TSLA, Exclusive: Bill Ford at Mustang Mach-E unveil admits being on Tesla’s turf
Bradley Berman
- Nov. 17th 2019 10:44 pm ET
Minutes after the official unveiling of the Ford Mustang Mach-E,
we jumped into the press scrum surrounding Bill Ford. Electrek asked Ford’s chairman, and Henry Ford’s great-grandson,
if he knew the introduction was taking place one block from Tesla’s design center.
“That’s a coincidence,” he said. And then he flashed a big smile.
Tesla Motors, Inc. (Tesla), incorporated on July 1, 2003, designs, develops, manufactures and sells electric vehicles and advanced electric vehicle powertrain components. Tesla owns its sales and service centers and Supercharger stations. In addition to the Company’s own vehicles, it designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced electric vehicle powertrain components to other automotive manufacturers. The Company has provided development services and powertrain components to Daimler AG (Daimler) for its Smart fortwo and A-Class electric vehicles. The Company developed stationary energy storage products for use in homes, commercial sites, and utilities. The Company offers financial products through various financial institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley who wanted to prove that electric cars could be better than gasoline-powered cars. With instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions, Tesla’s products would be cars without compromise. Each new generation would be increasingly affordable, helping the company work towards its mission: to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable transport.
Tesla’s engineers first designed a powertrain for a sports car built around an AC induction motor, patented in 1888 by Nikola Tesla, the inventor who inspired the company’s name. The resulting Tesla Roadster was launched in 2008. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and achieving a range of 245 miles per charge of its lithium ion battery, the Roadster set a new standard for electric mobility. Tesla would sell more than 2,400 Roadsters, now on the road in more than 30 countries.
In 2012, Tesla launched Model S, the world’s first premium electric sedan. Built from the ground up to be 100 percent electric, Model S has redefined the very concept of a four-door car. With room for seven passengers and more than 64 cubic feet of storage, Model S provides the comfort and utility of a family sedan while achieving the acceleration of a sports car: 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds. Its flat battery pack is integrated into the chassis and sits below the occupant cabin, lending the car a low center of gravity that enables outstanding road holding and handling while driving 265 miles per charge. Model S was named Motor Trend’s 2013 Car of the Year and achieved a 5-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In late 2014, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled two dual motor all-wheel drive configurations of Model S that further improve the vehicle’s handling and performance. The 85D features a high efficiency motor at the front and rear, giving the car unparalleled control of traction in all conditions. The P85D pairs a high efficiency front motor with a performance rear motor for supercar acceleration, achieving a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.2 seconds – the fastest four-door production car ever made.
Now with more than 50,000 vehicles on the road worldwide, Tesla is preparing to launch Model X, a crossover vehicle that enters volume production in 2015. Featuring exhilarating acceleration, falcon wing doors, and room for three rows of seating, Model X defies categorization.
Tesla owners enjoy the benefit of charging at home so they never have to visit a gas station or spend a cent on gasoline. For long distance journeys, Tesla’s Supercharger network provides convenient and free access to high speed charging, replenishing half a charge in as little as 20 minutes. Superchargers now connect popular routes in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Tesla’s vehicles are produced at its factory in Fremont, California, previously home to New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. The Tesla Factory has returned thousands of jobs to the area and is capable of producing 1,000 cars a week.
The company is expanding its manufacturing footprint into other areas, including in Tilburg, the Netherlands, where it has an assembly facility, and Lathrop, California, where it has a specialized production plant. To reduce the costs of lithium ion battery packs, Tesla and key strategic partners including Panasonic have begun construction of a gigafactory in Nevada that will facilitate the production of a mass-market affordable vehicle, Model 3. By 2020, the gigafactory will produce more lithium ion cells than all of the world’s combined output in 2013. The gigafactory will also produce battery packs intended for use in stationary storage, helping to improve robustness of the electrical grid, reduce energy costs for businesses and residences, and provide a backup supply of power.
Tesla is not just an automaker, but also a technology and design company with a focus on energy innovation.
The Tesla Roadster is an electric sports car. The Company sells and services its Tesla Roadster though its Company-owned sales and service network in the North America, Europe and Asia. It has delivered approximately 2,500 Tesla Roadsters to customers in over 30 countries. It completed the production of Tesla Roadster gliders at Lotus Cars Limited in January 2012.
Model S is a four door, five-passenger premium sedan. It has designed Model S to include a third row with two rear-facing child seats, subject to applicable safety regulations and requirements, allowing the Company to offer a seven passenger sedan.
The Company revealed an early prototype of the Model X crossover as the first vehicle that it intends to develop by leveraging the Model S platform. This vehicle has been designed to fill the niche between the roominess of a minivan and the style of an SUV, while having high performance features, such as a dual motor all-wheel drive system. Model X will seat seven adults. The Company anticipates that it would make Model X available with 60 kWh and 85 kWh battery pack options, with pricing of each version similar to those of a comparably equipped Model S.
The Company also has announced its intent to develop a third generation electric vehicle, to which it refers as Gen III, to be produced at the Tesla Factory.
In addition to the Company’s own vehicles, it designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced electric vehicle powertrain components to other automotive manufacturers. The Company has provided development services and full powertrain systems and components to Daimler AG for its Smart fortwo, A-Class, and B-Class electric vehicles. It has also developed an electric powertrain system for Toyota Motor Corporation for use in its RAV4 EV. As of December 31, 2013 the Company shipped approximately 1,600 units.
In 2013, the Company developed stationary energy storage products for use in homes, commercial sites, and utilities. The applications for these battery systems include backup power, peak demand reduction, demand response and wholesale electric market services. The Company intends to ramp sales of these products in 2014. In 2015, Tesla introduced the Powrball: Tesla Home Battery. Powerwall is a home battery that charges using electricity generated from solar panels, or when utility rates are low, and powers your home in the evening. It also fortifies your home against power outages by providing a backup electricity supply. Automated, compact and simple to install, Powerwall offers independence from the utility grid and the security of an emergency backup. Powerball comes in 10kWh weekly cycle and 7kWh daily cycle models. Both are guaranteed for ten years and are sufficient to power most homes during peak evening hours. Multiple batteries may be installed together for homes with greater energy need, up to 90 kWh total for the 10 kWh battery and 63 kWh total for the 7 kWh battery.
The Company offers financial products through various financial institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. In the United States and Canada, it offers customer loans through specified commercial banking partners. In connection with certain of these loans, the Company offers a resale value guarantee to all customers who purchased a Model S and financed their vehicle.
