    I disagree. It’s tantamount to fraud and you better believe people have died because of it.

        People have died because of the price gouging?

        No, because of the bad build quality, obviously.

        For some reason, “fast, shoddily built and weighs two metric tons” isn’t great for avoiding faults that sometimes lead to fatalities.

        Maybe think for a second more before you start ranting about someone else being ridiculous 🙄

            For example, below is the kind of welding that passes muster at Tesla. The Tesla quality assurance as instituted by Musk himself is “don’t. It makes the wait lists shrink more slowly”.

            Would you feel safe accelerating 0-60 in under 4 seconds in two tons of badly assembled steel? I sure wouldn’t!

                Tesla has exceeded safety test rankings beyond the vast majority of other manufacturers and has received numerous top accolades from very reputable safety sources.

                Those were all in the beginning when they were new and trying to impress the world. To say standards have slipped since then is the understatement of the century.

                Never trust a guy who says “I’m not a fan boy but” and then repeatedly brushes all criticism of what he’s pretending not to fanboy over as “echo chamber nonsense”. 😂

                Especially not after him repeating PR talking points almost word for word for what would have been at least two paragraphs with better formatting 🙄

                  That’s an interesting stance. The logic of your statement reads as:

                  If someone agrees with me I'm right. If someone disagrees with me, then the person disagreeing is automatically doing so in bad faith and their opinions should be automatically dismissed without consideration making me right.

                  Under your logic what statements ever allow for someone to challenge or correct you and learn something new?

                    Nope. The logic is that “I’m not a fan boy but” is usually as true as “I’m not a racist but”.

                    In both cases, what follows will usually be proof that everything before “but” was a lie.

                    Or to put it in yet another way: people who feel the need to assure others that they’re definitely not fan boys…are usually fan boys.

                    Me being right or wrong has nothing to do with it at all.
