Tesla for the day

Per Liljas has a Time article about problems with the new car:

A Tesla Model S electric car, touted as the safest car in America, caught fire recently, spurring new worries about the possible risks of lithium-ion batteries. In two recent incidents, involving Boeing’s new 787 plane and Chevrolet’s Volt hybrid car, fires have emanated from batteries of the same type.
Tesla spokeswoman Liz Jarvis-Shean said the fire was caused by a large metallic object hitting the battery pack, and pointed out that no one was injured. Company shares still dropped by more than six percent, following the appearance on the Internet of a video showing flames spewing out of the vehicle (warning: mild profanity can be heard).

Rico says he hopes they get this sorted out before they bring out the SUV model, because his father really wants one... (And 'mild' would not be what he, or Rico, would use if an expensive car burst into flames, either.)
