Teslas are made in mexico, so maybe mk7 will be fine after all.

One thing that its missing... A gorgeous engine note. Can't replicate that. Also I wouldn't have too much peace of mind while driving something that has a load of lead acid batteries on board...

Compared to something filled with flammable liquids that are purposely detonated in order to move the thing forward?
not lead acid.....

Eh they are nice looking cars but ill race any of them from San Francisco to LA win every time. Still takes less time to fill my car with gas and it gives me more range. Not to mention if I was driving my TDI. SF to LA on one tank with 2+ gallons to spare.

it was determined in those accidents that the batteries were punctured by debris on the road and that the vehicles were safe and kept the fire away from the cabin like the cars were designed to do.

For me a Tesla would be perfect. I drive about 150 miles at most a day, there are chargers at school (I get a better parking space too), the movie theater, the mall, etc. The charging would actually save me time because I won't be waiting around the gas pumps for my tank to fill up. You get home, plug it in, unplug it in the morning, and drive away. SA to Austin is only 80 miles for me, so I could do a round trip on one charge.
The race car is gasoline powered and makes beautiful noises of course.
Btw, 3 Teslas caught fire. That's not much of a data set, but in the distance all Teslas have traveled 4 times as many gasoline vehicles caught fire.
