Local woman did the research and figured out why a parking garage collapsed.

“Did a Tesla cause it?”
No darling. A fire would have been noticed. Also ICE motor cars catch fire at a much higher rate than electric cars, so why jump to speculating that an electric car fire weakened the structure.
Really this is just irresponsible reporting, and deliberate fear-mongering. The news agency chooses what to air.
edit:
Evidently addressing the ONLY way that a Tesla could cause a structural failure in that setting doesn’t make sense to some people. I’m assuming too much engineering knowledge in the general population.
> why jump to speculating about what she meant?
Because it’s literally the point of the post, smh.
at least the Gays are on the case
Local news is usually this stupid.
They have dimwit anchors, bored reporters, and they talk to stupid people.
Even if the person wasn’t completely dumb the clip will be edited down to a tiny soundbite of the thing that seems most stupid (especially lacking all context), since local news “reports” are usually anywhere from 30-90 seconds.
Local news is stupid. So is national news come to think of it.
Ya know, I saw a dead groundhog on the road the other day. Then, I got home, and I noticed that I’d left my music playing in the kitchen. I really wish I woulda turned that off, then that little fella would still be alive.
Did someone start an LG appliance in the background?
Dammit Nickola !!
She didn’t explain her point but she actually could be right. Essentially Tesla cars are way heavier than normal cars, due to the weight of the battery. So there are genuine discussions happening about whether car parks need to be rebuilt or reinforced to deal with the added weight, as Tesla’s become more popular.
and what’s sad, even though anyone with half a brain knows this isn’t true, it’ll circulate and just be one of those things that folks will say “tesla’s, with all their battery weight, are causing parking garages to collapse, don’t buy a tesla!”
She’s just asking the questions the rest of us are too afraid to
I’m surprised the title isn’t “local female”
If I was giving that person a HUGE benefit of the doubt, maybe she meant because Teslas tend to be slightly heavier than normal cars? (~4000 pounds compared to ~3500 for relative size)
But regardless, a garage like that would need to support SUVs and many many times the weight of an entire garage full of teslas.
*shrug*
Too many Teslas nearby cause an inductive force leading to additional mass being attracted to them. Eventually they hit critical mass and supernovae.
It’s not as stupid as it sounds and has already happened in New York.
> The Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) has said UK car parks could collapse under the weight of electric vehicles (EVs) unless weight limits are imposed or the buildings are strengthened.
>
>In recent years, vehicles have become increasingly heavy, with their average weight rising from 1.5 tonnes in 1974 to almost 2 tonnes today. As a result, old multi-storey car parks might be at risk of collapse.
>
>This increase in weight could prove fatal, and might have caused the death of one person in the collapse of a multi-storey car park in New York City in April 2023. The incident is still under investigation.

Is that sweet dee?
I see or hear “did the research”, or any such expression, and immediately raise the fine-mesh bullshit screen.
All too often, it plugs almost instantly.
Reddit would collectively cream if Tesla caused this
This is perfect conspiracy theory stuff.
Teslas, LG Appliance noises, 9/11… it all adds up!
This should be cross posted to r/realtesla
the rumor was the added weight of tesla cars. https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/07/business/electric-vehicles-weight/index.html
Gay.
The relief I felt when she didn’t say something about Jewish people.
I don’t even understand what she is implying
Chick looks like a character from Fraggle Rock
I don’t think it’s exclusively electric vehicles, but the overall weight in vehicles over the last 50 years probably wasn’t considered when the structural requirements for these garages were enacted.
In NYC it’s a big problem and the older parking garages are all getting checked after a collapsed garage in the financial district earlier this year
People are saying….
I just read an article about population decline.
Are we doomed?
Thats a GOP core voter right there. Dumb as a brick and not afraid to prove it on camera.
