2014 Tesla Model S fuel system problems

Tesla s and x batteries are a design flaw. Tesla's panasonic cells are made with thin metal casings so that the heat from one burning cell causes the neighboring cells to burst especially when exposed to air in an accident. These fires emit toxins such as florine gas. These cars should be recalled and the batteries replaced with a safer design. The recent accident in florida shows the need for this recall.

Here is a tesla in the junkyard: [link removed] it has been totally destroyed by fire. There was an investigation into tesla fires back in 2014 and it was claimed that fires were caused by road debris puncturing the battery pack and this problem was solved by fitting a battery shield. Teslas are still catching fire at an alarming rate. I believe that the cause of many of these fires is not that the lithium battery catches fire first but that the ethylene glycol leaks out and catches fire.
