Well thats nothing! Check out these recent ICE car fires: x.com/i/moments/1041…

A car propelled by combustion is far more likely to combust than an electric car

That's what I thought. Comparing the Tesla to combustion vehicles in safety is a little apples to oranges.

Yes, when it comes to physics, make sure Newton is on your side

How much of a factor is not having a motor in the hood?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 20, 2018
Helps improve forward crumple zone length, especially important in high speed frontal impacts, and moments of inertia in side impacts

.@NHTSAgov will post final safety probability stats soon. Model 3 has a shot at being safest car ever tested.

Both these cars got a 5 star rating in the side pole test. I would rather be driving the @Tesla #Model3 (pictures from NHTSA)
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 20, 2018
Exactly, all 5 star are *not* the same, as the videos show. “5 star” just means a car met a certain threshold, but injury probability stats (real numbers) tell you by how much.

Laws of physics should be renamed to Laws of convenience

Physics can be thought of as the compression algorithms of reality

Shout out to @Tesla and @elonmusk for the fantastic mobile service to fix the alignment of the hood on my #model3. The problem was the fault of a certified third party shop and not Tesla but they made it right. #teslamodel3

Did the number of engines on the booster change at all?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 19, 2018
31 engines, but with room to add 11 more down the road. Kinda have to.

So that means If a tree falls in the forest does not make a sound.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 19, 2018
Yes, if there is no listener, a simulation probably wouldn’t spend computing power on sound

Thank you for answering more technical questions last night. There’s still so much more to learn about BFR! I’d love more Q&A time with you or perhaps a Reddit AMA again!
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Sep 18, 2018
Will do. Love Reddit.
