Grant Cardone, the well-known real estate investor, recently took to X to ask his followers if they're worried about health risks associated with Tesla batteries. He's considering buying a Tesla for his daughter and, like any good parent, he wants to be sure it's safe. The post quickly caught attention, with hundreds of responses from EV enthusiasts, skeptics and even health professionals.

Most of Cardone's followers were quick to reassure him. Many pointed out that Tesla is one of the safest vehicles out there. One commenter highlighted that the Model X has the “lowest probability of injury to the occupants as tested by NHTSA [National Highway Traffic Safety Administration].” Another shared their experience, saying they've been driving Teslas for years and have “zero concerns” about health risks. They said, “Fossilmobiles are the health threat.”

Another follower dismissed battery health concerns, stating, “Don't be ridiculous. The battery is contained and nothing leaks into the car's cabin.” They added that the real concern would be if Tesla implements wireless charging in the future, as there could be potential radiation exposure if sitting in the car during charging. Even still, most of Cardone’s followers were optimistic about Tesla’s general safety features, declaring the car safer than most other vehicles.

A 2022 study called Complex Electromagnetic Issues Associated with the Use of Electric Vehicles in Urban Transportation concluded that, while EMF levels in EVs like Teslas generally comply with international safety limits, there is still some concern about chronic exposure to complex EMF sources, especially for drivers who spend extensive hours in the vehicle. The study also states that more research is needed to understand the long-term health effects of this exposure, especially because of the combined EMF from different sources like the car’s batteries, motors and Wi-Fi systems.
