CEO of Tesla and acting President-elect Musk is going on a neo-Nazi binge endorsing far right candidates instead of properly running the companies he’s involved in such as Tesla.

In addition Tesla is considered one of the most unreliable car brands according to: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-placed-bottom-consumer-reports-reliability-rankings/

Moreover Tesla has the highest fatal accident rates of all car brands according to: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a62919131/tesla-has-highest-fatal-accident-rate-of-all-auto-brands-study/

Also there are privacy implications with using a car that could in theory spy on you: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/05/massive-trove-of-tesla-files-contains-thousands-of-safety-complaints/

Now that more competent and establish brands are making EVs there’s no reason to buy a Tesla if you want an EV. I’m not here to recommend another brand, I’m just here to tell you that your next EV should be anything other than a Tesla.

    As little as I want to defend Tesla, and I’m not. People get way more worked up when a computer kills someone versus a distracted driver.

      Yeah but computers are supposed to reduce fatalities. Instead Tesla has the highest fatalities.

        It might as well be an infinitely complex question to me. Do Tesla drivers have poor motor skills because they’re dumb? Do motor skills even have a correlation with general intelligence? Or does it skew this way because people who have more money (age) have poor motor skills?

        I don’t know I’m definitely not a statistician.

          You’d have to prove there was something different about the drivers. We’ve got evidence of a defect in the cars.
