Featured Tesla goes even more Ludicrous

understandable .... and that'd be what .... recharging in under 10 seconds. I've watched gassers refuel in under 10 seconds .... if you don't mind exposing your family & friends & loved ones to the downside;

And well - there's exposing yourself to all of the carcinogens as well ... but think of all the time you saved! Boy I sure feel stupid being willing to wait 10 or 20 minutes to charge a plugin.

Ahhhh i see - so that'd be 5 or 6 minutes, turning on pack size. Quite generous of you. Hopefully all the folks who have similar expectations won't be disappointed when manufacturers don't Pander to the ⅛ of 1% with similar expectations — it'd be like expecting the manufacturers of gassers to spend hundreds of billions in order to build cars that don't catch fire & kill people but once every 3 or 4 billion miles (over 30X less than present day gasser stats .... only that multifold stat is getting greater as Tesla has never resulted in a burn death in its cars)
Truly life is a series of trade-offs. Here's to hoping your trade-offs down the road won't be too 'costly' in a non-monetary sense

There is a thread on the Tesla Motors site that shows from a linked article the driver committed suicide. Same as the suicide off of a 300' Malibu Cliff several months ago. There's gotta be a better way, although a school of piranhas would be worse.....

With 400,000 on the waiting list?

Some ofthe articles that reported this were done seemingly as clickbait to either drive readers to their site or to agitate Tesla owners.
Tesla driver dies after slamming into tree in the Netherlands
If you see driver's cabin - note no sign of burning. One thing notable was after hitting the tree at a hundred mph or so - the battery completely separated from the cabin that the driver was in. Ironically the emergency responders seeing the later battery fire (separated) made them reluctant to go near the car in fear of electrocution. Looks like a little more training may be necessary.

 

Weather Tesla GM Ford or other plugin builders, I don't know which agency or manufacturer pays for training.

Fine - so I guess your shorts are all bunched up about "tesla only" training costs because you have a link to show they're different from all other manufacturers? I'll stand by while you paste that bit of info - that I don't seem to be able to find.
But - distinguishing Toyota, it's rather surprising how offended you AREN'T, that their hydrogen vehicle had to get safety waivers and iirc, it had to do with matters of high-voltage lines & or fuel lines. Just saying, best not to throw stones living in a glass house

Falling back on the good ol' old subsidy alibi. Then, the circuitous answer (that similarly adds nothing to the discussion) is, "take subsidies away from the oil companies and see how gassers fair" . I'm sure the presidents of Exxon & BP are looking out for your best interests. Just take a look at what happened to the Gulf Coast or the Valdez debacle up around Alaska. No, you're right, it's all about that evil bastard Musk. Let's all continue to hope he fails.
