Then Elon and Tesla dismiss any valid complaints and criticisms as "far left gay communist propaganda" just 'cause he thinks everything's politically motivated, 'cause he thinks everyone should agree everything he does and those who don't are the enemy just like fascists and (also) actual communists.

Because the percentages are less than the qty. The denominator is larger and the percentage is technically lower.

Idk I'm just talking out my ass but it sounds like it could math.

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

Tesla vehicle owner detected.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

If we had learned, we wouldn't be where we are.

You are all getting portable incineration in car free of charge and you complain?! Some people are impossible to please!

Obviously you hear about it, we are all talking about it. My favorite is if it goes into a body of water you cant get out and then you slowly drown.

Went to check the numbers and this site says the total number of Tesla deaths is higher(although not specifically from fires)

www.tesladeaths.com

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I think the takeaway from that site is that the self driving deaths really aren't that far behind the deaths from Tesla fires.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Because cover ups.

She's a 21st century pinto, oh yeah!

I dunno, I've heard a lot of jokes about Teslas exploding

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

They sure do seem to have a tendency to spontaneously combust.

I don't doubt that model Ys catch fire sometimes but the pic on the right looks like AI to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that fire would be coming from the front storage space.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Looks like there's fire in the back too but the smoke is only coming from the side.
