      TBF, if they’re going to lock you in a burning car unable to exit, killing you with the dashboard or sterring column would be a mercy killing compared to burning to death inside.

      replace the airbag with a letal injection perhaps?

    He’s been real quiet lately. No more talks of release the list or the America Party. Did his K plug go on vacation?

      Now trump is black bagging US citizens in broad daylight, and Musk is an immigrant who fully admitted that he originally entered the country illegally. The danger must have creeped its way through his ketamine addled brain.

        Musk also has a private army of security contractors (and someone like him probably has mercenaries off killing people in other countries too)

        he’s far too much trouble to go after, if you’re DHS, regardless if you’re Trump DHS or Democrat DHS. someone like that is ungovernable.

        I can promise you he doesn’t even think about that.

        He’s busy with his little Internet cult right now and I’m assuming some other malicious bullshit to fuck us with.

      Even if you’re just minding your business when a sleeping pilled-out middle manager from Subway corporate plows into your 98 Corolla in their Tesla at 100 mph leaving your family without a father and source of income because a billionaire nazi who’s constantly off his nut on ketamine decided rules are stupid and don’t apply to him and the entire societal structure designed to prevent this from happening has been hollowed out by incompetent bigots who absolutely rate high on the sociopath scale because nazi media has ensnared 51% of the population and now you dead.

    Need jammers to confuse and break Teslas. They’re weapons designed to break laws and protect occupants at the expense of bystanders. Can’t be mad if a bystander redirects your Tesla into a ditch.

    When a self driving car breaks the law, the CEO should get the demerit points on their own licence, and if they lose their licence, the cars can’t drive anymore.

      That would be funny but better yet, the entire line of cars gets the feature deleted from them and customers are reimbursed the entire value of the car plus interest in exchange for having risked their lives testing an unstable and dangerous vehicle.

      The second one of these cars cause a fatal collision due to wanton disregard of the law on part of the CEO, he should be held criminally liable.

        Tesla drivers have the highest accident rates. There’s already thousands of civil lawsuits. They should have prosecuted him years ago.

      Man, holding the company financially accountable for all traffic violations would be magnificent.

      It’s a shame we’re too stupid/weak to pull it off.

      CEOs like you’re talking about, they dont drive.

      the only time they’ll step behind the wheel of a car is for a pleasure cruise in some multi million dollar supercar on a track, or a closed / private road.

      It will always fall on the driver of the vehicle, as it should. I don’t care how self driving your car is, it has a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, and a brake pedal and in the driver seat YOU are responsible with how you operate your vehicle. If u decide to trust a self driving feature that’s YOUR mistake. I would love to blame all these crashes on Tesla but the reality is that all these drivers aids and self driving cars having accidents is proof that you should be the one in control of your own vehicle. No crying about how the automotive nannies didn’t stop you from crashing the vehicle your driving, take responsibility. Don’t like it? Don’t trust the “self driving” nonsense (read: glorified advanced cruise control). Now one thing I don’t agree with is advertising as self driving, and I strongly believe self driving vehicles in public roadways should be ILLEGAL!

        Except the problem here is Tesla is lying about a product to encourage people to use it illegally and unsafely. At some point there’s extra deaths to blame solely on tesla’s lies.

    With the exception of not being low cost items, Tesla blended with a little SpaceX could become Spacers Choice from The Outer Worlds.

    "At Spacer’s Choice, we cut corners so you don’t have to”.

    "It’s not the best choice, it’s Spacer’s Choice”.

    “Taste the freedom”.

    I’ll play the Devil’s Advocate. 15MPH over isn’t bad and is often necessary. Sometimes you have to get away from another vehicle or overtake on a 2-lane highway.

    For any Europeans horrified by that statement, our roads were designed for cars from the very start.

    “Hurry mode” lol. I’m pretty sure every driving instruction manual ever made says something like “don’t drive like you’re in a hurry.”
