I have taken countless Delta and UA flights. I can attest 100%, had this scenarios happened on those flights, near death certainty for those passengers. 90sec from my years of observations not doable by ANY Delta or UA flights unless maybe small 737 with maybe a third full. Their crews and the type of passengers they have guarantee death in this kind of situation. Heck even if you give them 10 mins instead of 90sec, they still will not make it all out.

Nope. BYD is currently outselling Tesla in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. It is just a matter of time Ford and GM will slaughter Tesla when the tech is prevalent enough. By the way, Tesla has their giga factory in China and still can't outcompete BYD even if just purely on cost. Remember the huge Tesla deal by Hertz? Yup, gone up in smoke. If they do BYD they still have a chance. Tesla is just too expensive, easily double the price and very cpstly to maintain over the long run. Their replacement parts and labour is very costly which seems to be actively suppressed not make into news (similar to their crashes).

BYD battery tech is just phenomenal. I have seen in the factory demo where fully charge battery being punctured without triggering any explosion. Their battery is no longer subsidized by their government. China EVs and their battery have now enter into pure competition market-based situation. Meanwhile Tesla still rely heavily on tax break by American and European countries. In Asia, Tesla sales mostly shrunk in the last 2 quarters with BYD overselling them by 2 to 5 unit. Tesla is fast becoming the new Solyndra maybe in 10 years time it will be just a small niched boutique EV Ferrari.
