Atleast on the old pinto it was just gas burning, not whatever EV batterys are filled with
 
I'd rather die by fire than by breathing toxic chemicals. Less painful that way. And the Pinto wagons didn't burn.
 
HMMM, turning a sports car into a wagon, I think I've heard of this tactic.

Remember when Dodge took the Charger and added more Cargo and called it the Magnum

It should last about 3 model years

My dad had a pinto when i was young.

He rearended another pinto.

Neither exploded.
 
Fun fact: More people have been killed in Teslas than Pintos... and there were WAAAAAAAAAY more pintos made than Teslas. So ummm...

The pintos bad name is not really that it was unsafe but how ford handled the recall. If you look at the actual numbers of deaths vs cars sold. The pinto was a pretty safe car, technically safer than a Tesla. Elon Musk is just waaaaay better at cover ups then Lee Iacocca.

Yeah but that is less fun than making fun of the Pinto.
