Tesla nefarious behavior?

[Donald Stanfield]

That study was based on an unknown number of miles that tesla vehicles have driven. It doesn't help that they are basing the tesla "miles driven" on used vehicles for sale.

people who really drive their Tesla vehicles do not sell them

The reason tesla does not correct said article is they know the numbers and it is still probably not as good as they would like

It also doesn't help that that study only focuses on the NHTSA reports when tesla have driven more than 150 billion miles at this point

What? That's true for literally every vehicle on the list. The miles driven is irrelevant.

It also doesn't help you can buy a model S plaid for $50K which gets you thrown out of a drag strip for going too fast.

Did you even read your link? 5 people died in a cybertruck fire.

misleading as 1 of them was the arsonist who filled the truck with fireworks, and three of them were from one crash.

Ford pinto was a small vehicle with a top speed of 90mph and a 0-60 of 17 seconds. Painfully slow

It's true, you can get to your firey death in a Cybertruck much faster than a Ford pinto.

So Tesla's are unsafe because the power isn't balanced. I think that's the first true thing you've ever said here.

Also rivian has a considerably lower top speed then a cyberbeast

Mine's supposed to hit 130 mph. Tracks around me are closed though, so I suppose I can't prove it. 130 mph in a 70 zone means they take my car if I get caught. I'm slightly smarter than I used to be in that regard.

For the record though, my 138 HP 2011 Cruze Eco topped out at 130 mph too.

power to price? What are you talking about?

What? You said the reason Tesla has so many deaths is because they are unsafe at speed. I agreed.

No because it is unsafe to go 200mph

Is this nefarious behavior by Tesla? Full self driving switches off one second before collision.

I'm almost 100% certain that Tesla has been doing this for years, it's nothing new.

in that video he disables autopilot by torquing the steering wheel. FSD does not disengage without warning beeps first. Mark rober does it in both attempts he does with autopilot.

For the short burst he is using autopilot he does not need to hold the steering wheel

Teslas are unsafe, agreed.

The NHTSA disagrees as they all receive 5 star safety ratings. Same with the NCAP

They also have the highest fatality rate of any manufacturer, so there's that.

Because you can die in any 5 star rated vehicle by driving fast enough

It's the most likely in a Tesla. At least they get first place in something right?

I don't know why you rag on one unreliable vehicle tesla makes (cybertruck) when rivian is last in reliability according to consumer reports. Not something to be proud of.
