… is sometimes expressed in very odd ways:

> Emissions mode changes the Tesla's turn-signal tone to the unmistakable sound of human flatulence, only one of many amusing add-ons Elon Musk has come up with.

I don’t find that to be amusing at all . Why are they not spending more time making the Tesla a vehicle I might buy without being concerned about it catching on fire in my garage.

i asked Elon that very question: “Why are you not spending more time making the tesla a vehicle that Volvo\_70 might buy?”

He made a fart noise at me in response.

We both giggled.

Much less likely with the new batteries. The less expensive Model 3 batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and there has never been a fire with them. The Model Y is switching from the older 2170 battery to the newer 4680. The newer barrier is less expensive and has a higher charge density. They also use an updated Lithium-ion chemistry that is more thermally stable than previous generations.
