For good measure they threw in a sensationalist statement how the Lithium Ion batteries are so dangerous (as if liquid fuel is not). They came up near the top of the search so I accidentally clicked on their "video of the fire" which was just the same photo as everyone else had with their anchors talking, I was reminded why I never like to watch TV. Closing the browser window felt like turning off the TV when I still had one. I feel like taking a shower.

Not only do I agree, I also call BS on the comment about CNBC. I watch it, and don't think the coverage is negative. Any negative coverage is usually about the stock or about Musk's consistent over-promises, and usually such a comment will be followed by a comment that the cars are great. Sent from AltaMail From: damon henry via EV <[email protected]> To: EV List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [EVDL] Fwd: Re: France fire model S Date: 8/18/16, 10:39 AM I'm going to have to call BS on this theory. Can you even begin to count the number of consumer products from the number of different companies that do not advertise on TV. I do not recall ever seeing a yacht manufacturer commercial on any of the TV stations I have watched. If I did watch any of these so called "News" channels I'm pretty confident I would not see any negative news stories about yacht makers just because they are not advertising on these stations. I could list category after category of products like this... An electric car fire is news because it is still somewhat of a new phenomena and the risks are not well understood. People have been driving around with a huge tank full of gas in their cars for their entire lives and seen way more ICE car fires than they likely ever will see EV car fires. An ICE car fire is no longer sensational or headline worthy.
