Tesla customers

The new Tesla Model S sales have exceeded their forecast.  You might remember that the Model S is phase two of owner Elon Musk's grand plan for his electric vehicle line, which just came on the market last summer.

Fastcompany.com says that everything is riding on this model, so at this point Musk's plan appears to be succeeding.

There's just one little disturbance in the force:  three battery fires, two of them in the U.S.  The National Highway Safety Administration is investigating in this country, while in Germany the federal transport agency finds no manufacturer defects.

What do the owners think of their car fires?  They "have all expressed their appreciation for the battery malfunction warning given by the car, offering them the opportunity to safely stop, exit the car, and get to safety before any fire began. Likewise, all three have expressed their desire to purchase new Model Ses to replace the lost vehicles."
