Electric vehicles are literally the most retarded thing ever.
Or, at least I thought this was the case before the EV guy, known as “Shitty Dickface Homo McBansalot,” literally renamed Twitter “X.”
New York Post:
A fire blazed on a ship off the Dutch coast with nearly 3,000 vehicles on board on Wednesday, killing one member of the crew and injuring several others, the coastguard said.
The fire began on Tuesday night on the 199-metre Panama-registered Fremantle Highway, which was en route from Germany to Egypt, forcing several crew members to jump overboard. Dutch broadcaster NOS said all the crew were Indian.
Rescue ships sprayed water onto the burning boat to cool it down, but using too much water risked its sinking, the Dutch coastguard said. A salvage vessel was hooked on to stop it drifting.
The fire might last for several days, Dutch news agency ANP reported, citing the coastguard. Smoke continued to billow from the vessel near the northern Dutch island of Ameland.
“The fire is most definitely still not controlled. It’s a very hard fire to extinguish, possibly because of the cargo the ship was transporting,” said Edwin Versteeg, a spokesperson for the Dutch Department of Waterways and Public Works.
The coastguard said on its website that the cause of the fire was unknown, but a coastguard spokesperson had earlier told Reuters it began near an electric car. Roughly 25 out 2,857 vehicles on the ship were electric.
The International Maritime Organisation, which sets out regulation for safety at sea, plans to evaluate new measures for ships transporting electric vehicles next year in light of the growing number of fires on cargo ships, a spokesperson said.

You can’t even transport these cars; they just blow up.
Imagine driving one and knowing that at some point it is going to blow up and you’ll be burned alive.
Imagine buying one of the top ten recognizable brands on earth so you could rename it “X.”
He should have renamed it “F.”
I think we can seriously work with calling Elon “Sir Bansalot.”
Do you get it?
Think about it, buddy, while you’re looking at these photos of that fat homo’s dumb fake car blowing the bitch out.

I guess that is similar to the British and the Falkland's War.
The British had replaced some of the steel superstructure of the warships with aluminum. The Argentinians had obtained French Exocet anti-ship missiles. When they hit the British ships they caught fire and there was no way to put out the burning aluminum short of smothering the fire. ;)

Yesterday they were saying it was 25 EVs, today it's 500.
500 EVs Among The 3000 Cars On Burning Ship Off Dutch Coast
The massive roll-on, roll-off ship ablaze off the Dutch coast is transporting 500 electric vehicles. The ship's total cargo is around 3,800 vehicles, some of which are BMWs and Mercedes.
Shipping blog TradeWinds reported Japan's K Line is the operator of "Fremantle Highway." According to K Line's figures, there are 3,783 vehicles, of which 489 are EVs. Earlier estimates had the number of EVs at 25.
"The figure is far higher than first estimated and appears to raise the likelihood that a lithium-ion battery in an EV either caused the blaze in the 6,210-ceu Fremantle Highway (built 2013) or added to its severity," TradeWinds said.

I just renewed the plates on my Tacoma. The BMV website says there's a "supplemental charge" for EVs and hybrids.
I wonder how much that costs. I'll bet it's pretty steep. I suppose they're making up for the gas tax.

Once they get their fingers in the pot over the Excise, they cannot do without that money fix. ;)

Don't be so hard on him. Elon Musk is the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. ;)
