[quote]Nitromethane planes have never ignited when I did dumb stuff.[/quote] That has more to do with the characteristics of nitromethane. It doesn't act crazy at normal pressures, hell it's barely flammable until pressurized. ...

re: Insurance companies may have to junk your car if your EVs are damaged in a accident - billjamin
[quote]I wonder what's going to happen to the used EV market once we have enough people that get burned by a battery replacement?[/quote] It's not going to be as bad as people think. All the numbers being thrown around right now do not take many factors into account. By the time we see any signific...

re: Insurance companies may have to junk your car if your EVs are damaged in a accident - billjamin
[quote]I'm curious if it is that large of a difference. I would expect an ICE to be more likely to catch fire for no other reason than the relatively thin-walled fuel tank that is at least as exposed to damage in a wreck as an EV's battery is exposed to shorting which could create a fire hazard.[/qu...

re: Insurance companies may have to junk your car if your EVs are damaged in a accident - billjamin
[quote]Actually it is. I’ve seen quite a few on the Tesla Reddit subs complaining how their (what we consider) mildly damaged cars are totaled by insurance. It’s not just the battery that’s the issue. Many of the frame parts are extremely expensive to repair, so insurance doesn’t want to deal with i...

re: Houston Third Ward/EADO area - billjamin
It's people betting on gentrification because of proximity to downtown, baseball stadium, etc. It's cleaned up quite a bit but still has a ways to go. I had a friend who bought an old tea warehouse over there and turned it into an awesome house and I think he sold it a few years ago for 2-3M....
