    Have you considered that it might just be trendy to dunk on Tesla? These issues are in no way unique to their vehicles, and the over-representation in the news skews our perception of how dangerous they actually are.

    There are 40k traffic fatalities in the U.S. alone every year. That’s 110 per day. Nobody gives a shit when Kia Ceed plows into pedestrians but when it’s a Tesla it’s instant clicks.
