    We've seen videos of crash disassembled Tesla that were impressive water fireworks. So I understand the goal but it really has to do with mitigating the accident consequences.

    Good thang that gasoline and jet fuel are so benign in an accident or crash. Yeah, totally benign.

    I own a Leaf. Risk of electrocution (before drowning) if I drive into a lake?
