Are Tesla Cars a Source of Dangerous EMF Exposure? My Surprising Journey Into Testing EMF in Everyday Life
In a world where we’re surrounded by Wi-Fi signals, cell towers, and countless electrical devices, it’s natural to wonder: are we being exposed to harmful levels of electromagnetic fields (EMF)? Some people claim it’s a hidden danger, while others brush it off as conspiracy theory nonsense. As someone who’s curious but not overly paranoid, I never gave much thought to EMF… until a random encounter during a Tesla charging session flipped that switch.
The Warning That Sparked My Curiosity
Picture this: I was casually charging my Tesla Model 3 at a DC fast charger, minding my own business, when a stranger approached me. His warning? “Don’t stay inside the car while it’s charging — you’re exposing yourself to dangerous EMF!”
Now, I’ll admit — this was the first time I’d ever heard such a thing. I’m not a scientist, and I had no clue if EMF is actually dangerous or not. I know it’s a hot topic, and opinions range from “it’s completely harmless” to “it’s silently killing us.” Naturally, the tin-foil hat part of my brain couldn’t help but wake up. Could my beloved Tesla be an invisible health hazard?
