A fuel tank is not a pressure vessel (apart from being sealed to keep fumes in). If you get a puncture in your gas tank, it doesn't immediately and violently explode, it just leaks fuel out. Even if it does catch fire, it would not be as violent an explosion as a pressure vessel failure. In most scenarios it would burn, but not explode.

Sorry, but as someone who has seen at LEAST 3 movies in his lifetime, I can say with absolute certainty that just about anything will cause a car to explode.

I know the gas tank is not a pressure vessel, I made two separate statements.

My point is that we already do dangerous things. I don't think it's a huge jump to put a pressurized nitrogen tank in a car. Car manufacturers even tried putting hydrogen tanks in cars. It's possible to make it safe.

Sure, but Tesla is the last company I’d trust to do it

I'm just happy someone is trying something new. Let someone else do it better

We already do dangerous things therefore all dangerous things are A-OK come on bro we’ll figure it out.
