Tesla cars are shoddily built pieces of shit liable to fall apart and malfunction in dangerous ways at inopportune moments. No, this is not a blog from 2012! It is also not a blog from 2015 or 2018 or 2022. It is not even a blog from two weeks ago about Tesla’s self-driving systems killing […]
Yes, I read this. Yes, that’s bad, but it’s one instance, ONE. Are you conveniently forgetting the hundreds of insane recalls that have happened from other car manufacturers in the past, many with equal or worse safety hazards? Yes, Tesla has issues, like many car manufacturers, but the unhinged vitriol directed at Tesla is just bizarre. I don’t know, maybe people have this latent guilt for driving ICEs, and attacking EV companies somehow alleviates this guilt? Perhaps it’s envy (although the Model 3 is hardly an expensive car now). The fact that so many people did actually read the article and then went on to apply zero critical analysis of it is typical, though I suspect most people, once again, saw a headline ‘Tesla bad’ and upvoted."
sorry you’re correct, however this is a small percentage given the number of vehicles sold like 1%. i don’t think it justifies Teslas being branded as poorly engineered pieces of junk. only 12 crashes have been attributed to this.

That isn’t one instance but one of tens of thousands. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/ The most insulting thing is they blame the customers and change them. I like EVs and I belive in them, and I liked Tesla too, but I was disappointed in it by it’s shitty practices.
