Wanna buy a Tesla?
Tesla fires make the news because, well, they're Teslas, and they're rare!

Fuel-powered cars and trucks catch fire every damn day. There are approximately 150,000 car fires per year in the US. They don't make the news because, well, everyone knows that a tank full of gasoline or diesel fuel is flammable as all hell.

Yes, li-ion batteries can burn due to an accident, but they are considerably less volatile than a tank full of fuel.

Agreed....... but as useful life and charging cycles commence in time and more cars become electric, we will see those statistics change and in my opinion drastically.
Than of course we will have to see what the failed or successful remediation process or statistics say during recovery.

Well Trump just said live on Fox news this morning, he is "committed" when asked questions about the EPA.

I want to see the cleanest air and water in the world!

[h=1]Gauging VW's progress on second diesel-settlement anniversary[/h]

Quote from report: So fewer Californians have had their TDIs modified or bought back as the owners seem to like their TDIs just as they came, with great fuel economy and dirty tailpipes.

As stated all along the VW TDI engines involved where not meant to be modified or altered and as such should have been recalled and scraped. VW are still unable and unwilling to provide proper documentation the affects alteration has had which has to be brought into question, why will they not allow real life performance and emissions post fix.
