  • I mean fine, yes, we want consistent behavior for as many car systems as possible. I agree.

    My perspective is if you do something different, like use electronic systems, and 5 times out of 1000 in emergency situations it doesn't work as intended, is that REALLY cause for redesign if there's a benefit to doing something different?

    I am sure there are other vehicles that, after a crash or a drop in the water, have doors that won't open as expected or windows that don't roll or break, or maybe thet sink too fast or who knows what other thing. I don't think that fractional percentage points of situations warrant scrapping or redesigning basically anything that is not universally adopted.

    I'm super griped that, as an early adopter of EVs, everybody wants to lay a turd on the cars I have had nothing but good experiences with because the CEO is a fuckwad and tech bros try to cheat the VERY prominent warning messages.

    They are by no means the nicest made cars I have ever owned, but as far as the whole EV package goes, I don't think you can go wrong buying one even still if you can afford it. I super hope someone gets a better option on the table soon, but the meme Tesla hate is probably driving people away from a generally solid car choice.

  • That will get you banned around here too though if you aren't careful.

    Two nights of drinking and rage commenting around election day has eliminated my need to browse politicalmemes though... So maybe still fine?

  • Let me google that for you:

    • Tesla vehicles have had a fire rate of one for every 175 million miles traveled, compared to the U.S. average of a vehicle fire for every 19 million miles traveled.
    • According to the National Fire Protection Association, Tesla’s fire rate is significantly lower than the national average, with one fire per 170 million miles driven.
    • A study by the University of Berkeley found that electric vehicle fires, including Tesla, occurred at a rate of 4 per billion miles, which is significantly lower than gasoline vehicles.

    Anything else I can type in your search engine?

  • Naw I already said Tesla sucks all through the thread. I'm sad someone says "Tesla accident" and you all swarm to it to gloat like your kid finally graduated special Ed. No shit accidents happen, but wheres the same offense when any other brand has a fuck up? It's nowhere because smarmy lemurs are only watching tesla news.

  • I bet if your house slides in the water anyone inside may well die. You gonna move? If not, why? If it's because it doesn't seem probable, then revisit your comment to me. Half of one percent of probability is not "basic things that save lives", that would be seat belts, air bags, windshield wipers, a horn, etc. etc.
