I guess there's something to be said for "hey, if you're considering buying a Tesla, you may be the kind of person that's likely to kill themself in a car crash. Consider buying a safer car or taking the bus!"
replyReminds me of the first episode of madman where the guy pitches appealing to everyone’s “inherent death wish” when selling cigarettes haha
reply“That’s it? If you’re gonna die, die with us?”
They don’t, these are the anti-Tesla folks. No level of reasoning is available for discussions like this.
replyI don’t like Elon but I also don’t think fiction and misleading stats serve anyone.
Who would have guessed that a vehicle with no turn signal stalk or physical control to shift gears is unsafe!
replyTesla sells too many vehicles for it to be a “self selecting driver population” thing anymore. They sell almost as many Model Ys as Honda CRVs.
I have a hard time believing that driver profile has anything to do with it, and I especially dislike the temptation to explain away the data by making unsubstantiated excuses for the company.
Dodge has better statistics than Tesla and they almost exclusively sell muscle cars.
