Oh look, the hilarious consequences of our own actions. Hey pensioners, I hope this was what you had in mind if you voted R!

Probably every vehicle has some number of stupid deaths. I assume you don’t fly because Boeing fucked up. That’s way more than 83 people if just one plane crashes.

It’s just way cooler to shit on Tesla though. Very trendy. Very cool.

0.052% (232 / 443,956) fire rate.

Comparison to Industry Average: For context, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports an average fire rate of 1.5 crashes per million miles for all vehicles. Tesla’s fire rate of 0.052% (based on the reported 232 fires) is significantly lower than this industry average.

But it’s not very cool to do research that way shrug

They were the only reasonable EV option for several years. They still have the best available charging network if any EV.

I’m not selling a car that is paid off bc the owner of the company stopped hiding that he’s obvious trash.

God damn! The total is now… 10?

All less than 10 caught in cars in like 12 years? I mean, the cars are made like shit and it’s SO COOL to shit talk a TESLA, like oh my god how cool!

But…

By the units we got a way to go here my man.

Best EV before the fascist made it evident that’s what he is. Still best supercharging network available.

As opposed to the high friction vacuums we are used to.

Can you just rewrite it for us here now because it doesn’t make any fucking sense? I dont agree with the guy you’re replying to, but I can’t understand wtf you’re trying to say. It reads like it was written by a stroke victim.

Yep. And if not now, when?

Yeah… I’m not convinced. After this election, I think the answer is less “it takes everyone” or “it takes all kinds” and more “here’s evidence there are quite a lot of people we could do without”.

Edit: and a lot of the people we can do without are ostensibly lefties. You want to call maga folks stupid for being single issue voters, then you can’t be a single issue “conscious objector”. I hope if you didn’t vote for Harris you get the rough side of the next two years for being a magnum toolbag.

Edit 2: all you .ml shitbirds can also lick an outlet as far as I’m concerned

And how wild would that be? Biden shows up, shakes Trump’s hand, then garrotes him. What happens next?

The lucky thing is people are going to get punished for being stupid. It won’t teach anything, but here we are.

Oh no, it’s the consequences of our actions! What a fucking joke of a country we are in.

Must be american. Reading and thinking are just too much effort. Learn to fuck :).

How many Teslas have been purchased and how many Teslas ended up in this situation? While it’s a sucky design decision, it’s sucky in an extreme edge case. S/Could it be fixed? Sure why not. Has something equally as ridiculous killed people in Ford f150s, Honda odessys, or Toyota Camrys like stupid gas tank configuration or glass that doesn’t break or seatbelts you can’t cut? I would put money on it. But nobody reports on that because the cool thing to do is smugly say Tesla sucks.

And they do! I have two and they are shitty made cars, but they have an enviable charging network and are constantly improving software and features. Mostly they are making Ford/Chevy/Honda get off their asses and do something and that’s ok with me.

4 people. FOUR? 2 maybe 3 cars out of a fucking GAZILLION? Sorry for those people and their families but that’s not a percentage where I complain or make an effort to change anything as a consumer.

Dude shut up lol. Everybody is jerking off on Tesla for an admittedly gnarly problem that will affect practically no one. Yes it’s stupid, but so is your furious masturbation to Tesla issues at the expense of actually reading the comments.

And yes, expected values against risk are literally all that matter. If that was not the case, no car would ever move from the assembly line for fear of rolling over a toddler or crashing into a cyclist. Pucker up your flapping butthole you’re talking out of and collect yourself. People will still stroke your weiner for saying “Tesla bad” even if you resort to reading and discussion; it will be ok. Stop putting words in other commenters mouths.

Didn’t say I wouldn’t go back to manual latches, just not going back to ICE (or selling my almost paid cars) because elon is a twit or they are unreasonably dangerous in the event of a freak accident.

This is a stupid problem to have, but expected value says most people will never have it.

Huh. TIL.

Anyone who has ever been in a Tesla knows they’re a software company, not a car company. The cars are made like crap.

I still wouldn’t go back to ICE though.

Tesla rear doors don’t open on button press from the inside with no power, but I bet they do from the outside. Just like the child locks. I’ve never tried it unpowered to confirm though.
