From a Model S owner in Tennessee
We're reading this on Tesla's site, and they obviously wouldn't have posted it if it weren't at least somewhat flattering, so we have that lens to view it through.<p>But, the letter does raise the important idea that before we decry how awful the failure mode is ("the car caught on <i>fire</i>!"), it's worth considering what the alternative would be---what happens in similar situations in combustion engines?
