    It is this. Everyone seems to have forgotten the Ford Exploder and all the rollover accidents well above the industry average as well.

        Yeah, but not for much longer. I’ve had my Model 3 for 7 years, well before Elon went full public Nazi, and when there were almost no similar alternatives for less than $80k.

        Just Blbeing anti-Tesla just because it’s the thing you do now is stupid. Facts are facts. Fascists aren’t the only ones that like to ignore inconvenient facts.

        Acting like the hundreds of thousands of existing Tesla owners are the same as people currently buying just makes you look like a dipshit.

          Acting like the hundreds of thousands of existing Tesla owners are the same as people currently buying just makes you look like a dipshit.

          You sound a bit defensive here.

          I wasn’t suggesting anything beyond the strong coping signal I saw with you defending the safety of a vehicle in the face of data.

          You make it sound like I called you a musk fanboi so if we want to talk about things people do to make themselves look like dipshits, your post is a top contender.

            That’s exactly how your previous sentence came across, especially given the anti-Tesla sentiment. You can’t honestly be trying to claim otherwise while being in the comment section of social media like Lemmy talking about Tesla.

      If only that was true, but it isn’t. They’re about even, and even if they where behind on %, it should have been a pretty big case as we’re supposed to have learned and be more vigilant

        There is a regular ICE car fire every 3 minutes in the US, even after the changes made in vehicle design. But no one likes to talk about that fact. It’s normal and you don’t get to feel superior on the internet for making a snarky reply making fun of a billionaire who doesn’t know you exist or care about what you think.

          Yes! Musk makes these cars. As the great engineer he is he hand built the original tesla using old tools he inherited from his father. I get to feel as superior as i want. The rules set out for plebs like you dont work on me.
