They would need to compare EMF readings in an ICE car, both while driving and while using the seat heaters for me to take their advise as Model S specific.

flashflood: I personally realized that I am severely allergic to benzene. It gives me major, massive headaches. Apparently a lot of the more popular perfumes, colognes, body sprays, and air fresheners that have a 'long lasting' tag have benzene as a primary component of their solution. I think it is being substituted for alcohol in numerous formulas. Unfortunately, people who like 'the smell' of particular perfumes become immune to it. They don't realize the stuff is every bit as strong several hours after application as it was when they first put it on. So they reapply it and end up killing me.
Exhaust
1. Diesel exhaust contain particles cause inflammatory diseases. Inflammation is the common link between many chronic diseases.
2. Diesel exhaust also contain carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbons.
3.Gasoline fumes could cause a myriad of problems. The hydrocarbons are not metabolized by the body in any normal manner.
4. Carbondisulfide is one of the major component of fuel exhaust. Besides modifying body's proteins, they make them "antigenic" and could create autoantibodies (no pun intended!)
5. Electromagnetic radiation can't be simply ignored, a high capacity battery and an induction motor over a period of time could have effects (perhaps beneficial effects too). I wish it would induce 40Hz brain wave

Tesla batteries contain hazardous chemicals and heavy metals that are thought to contribute to cancer and neurological disease.
A battery in good condition is relatively safe. However if they leak, catch fire, or explode and their disposal can be an environmental and health hazard.

According to Tesla; H2SO4, oxides of carbon, nickel, aluminum, lithium, copper, and cobalt.
At atomic number 3, one thing lithium is not is heavy. In fact, it floats on water. The other metals in the battery (nickel, aluminum, cobalt) are not toxic in small doses -- unlike lead and mercury.
Get a clue. Absorption rate, type of exposure and time are important factors. People have tried unsuccessfully to commit suicide by ingesting large quantities of lead or mercury. Long-term exposure at low level, can be more harmful than short-term high levels of exposure.
Most are skeptical, but some scientists suspect aluminum is a causal factor for Alzheimer. Most agree that aluminum can increase breast cancer risk by mimicking estrogen.
Nickel is believed to be a carcinogen in low doses over long periods of time. Some of its compounds can be explosive and extremely toxic.
Cobalt was found to be toxic in low doses when it was added to beer. Long-term exposure can cause the heart to deteriorate and fail.
According to Tesla's First Responder Guide 2014 Tesla model S. Tesla's batteries are so toxic that when the batteries burn, Tesla essentially recommend evacuating the vicinity and letting the fire burn out. Otherwise recommends full protective gear for emergency responders including self contained breathing apparatus.
But if you think it is safe, you ought to tell Tesla to change their emergency responder guide.

Yes, why don't you.
And?
Don't eat your Tesla battery.
See previous advice.
Which compounds, and are they found in a Tesla battery? Again, see previous advice.
Don't add your Tesla battery pack to your beer.
Seriously, your obvious and weak FUD campaign is not going to go very far here.

The couch I'm sitting on as I type this would be toxic if it were on fire. As is gasoline etc... Go back and listen to the tesla blog about recycling of the batteries.
