April 6, 2016 Tesla’s Ludicrous Model X P90D—an electric all-wheel-drive luxury SUV—comes loaded with pollution and dangerous technology.


            The liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack (90kWh nominal) has safety issues as well as energy conversion and transmission issues that have been blatantly ignored.   Tesla Motors Model S electric cars are known to have caught fire after their lithium-ion battery packs were damaged.  The batteries are the largest component of the 2.5 ton Ludicrous P90D car weight.  MIT reported that the Electric-vehicle’s battery packs are made of hundreds to thousands of battery cells, each of which contains a flammable liquid electrolyte.  The lithium metal itself is inherently unstable especially if it gets in direct contact with water and creates dangerous flammable hydrogen gas and intense heat.  But the most Ludicrous stupid oversight of all the environmental idiots who claim Ludicrous is environmentally friendly is the fact that those stupid environmentalist apparently don’t know that coal and oil are burned to generate most of the electricity to recharge the Ludicrous batteries.  And when you consider the electrical transmission, AC-DC conversion, and charging losses that add 50% to the thermal and chemical pollution, the Ludicrous is much more polluting than a modern gasoline or diesel engines.   But then everyone knows the entire EPA bureaucracy is biased and not very bright.
