You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don't get in the #Titan ?
Don't get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX

I've been saying it for months. Teslas are inherantly unsafe and I won't ride in one.
I've read that the build quality is pretty poor.
That’s usually a reference to fit and finish, but there have been several of them that have caught on fire. But they basically require subscription fees and refuse to use physical controls for important systems.
I can't speak to the quality issues, but I understand that some of the accidents are caused by the software correcting unexpectedly, and the user overcorrecting. This is compounded by changes to the software and features.
The glaring engineering issue I have seen is issues with the batteries being discharged and users having no access to the vehicle even though the aux power has juice left (this could be backwards).
For the fires, the lithium batteries become incendiary devices once they are ruptured.
Unless we can do something about the batteries flaming and burning the contents to pure ash, they will gain a worsening reputation on their own.
I am never going to give up my boring 2008 Honda civic. I will just repair it until I die. Cars sucked when I was a kid and they suck now. The only things that changed
The future of cars is the apple model. Except generally speaking apple products work. It would be one thing if they were putting out cars that had triple the fuel efficiency.
DLC content to make it better that you can't transfer with the car 😂
We just want to give our car "owners" a sense of accomplishment.
Norwegian Tesla owners had short hunger strike over it. Doors won't open during the Scandinavian winters and wipers freeze shut and so on.
It's worse I've heard the build quality is inconsistent. Some cars are perfectly assembled, others have dime sized gaps between seams.
Right, seems like a quality control issue. Either way, even if it wasn't for their megadouche CEO, I would still probably avoid them because of it.
Yup. You're paying for the name. I'd rather get an electric car from one of the big auto manufacturers personally.

Yeah, those stats probably need to be analyzed with more granularity.
After looking at the "article" a little more closely, the "author" seems like a chump and it's all just goofy interpretations of statistics. It's trash.
