Btw, looks like Tesla isn't the only EV maker in Jalopnik's sites. Sensationalism at its finest: Leaked Document Shows Fisker Has More Issues Than Fiery Cars
The document they referenced is neither "leaked" nor "confidential." I guess the blogosphere really has no sense of balance or fairness.
more than a dozen fiskers burned to a crisp after being submerged in seawater during storm sandy:
Jalopnik.com Updates: More Than A Dozen Fisker Karma Hybrids Caught Fire And Exploded In New Jersey Port After Sandy
Hard to blame this on the owner.

16 "isolated incidents", eh?
Good data set to show some consitency there...
Submersion in salt water. I suppose it could have shorted out the battery pack or some other electricals. But you'd think they could have designed around such a catastrophic failure mode. With the Roadster, Tesla designed in immersion sensors that are supposed to offer some form of protection. I wonder if such a failure could happen to a Roadster or Model S.
My concern is that this can scare a lot of people away from EVs. I'd like to see Tesla toss an S into a water tank to show how it doesn't explode or catch on fire. But just wait until mine is built. Can't handle anymore wait anxiety!!
