For the record, ^What a crock of slop^ .. . "25 tons of force" !?!
The fire damage was so severe that No one knows what the initial breach looked like. They go looking (and find) the most wicked piece of road debris they can find and start speculating about it as if certainly fact. Pay no attention to how long that magic piece of road debris has been driven over by masses of gas-powered cars. Listen to the inane "25 ton" claim... but pay no attention to the fact that this magic piece of road debris was not permanently impaled into the magic Model S.
Deflection, I suppose that's a good thing; like the deflection to talk about
gas car fires. Pay no attention to the specifics of those statistics; like the massive number of arson car fires (esp UK & Europe) or that about a quarter of car fires originate in the Electrical system.
I'm surprised that Team-Musk doesn't re-air the 1992 Dateline show where they rigged a GM truck with explosives to show (sensationalize) what could happen when side-mounted tanks got slammed by a car at 40mph. (and pay no attention to the fact that the real tank never exploded - or split.)
