  When accused of crimes, deflect by admitting to even bigger crimes.

  I mean, VW tried to blame poor quality software (aka a bug) for their abnormal emissions, before it was discovered it’s fully intended to cheat emissions testing.
  I wouldn’t put it above Tesla to do the same here.

  Sure, but if you apply hanlon’s razor whenever it’s applicable, you’re right more often.

  “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

    It can definitely be both. Trump is exhibit A

    Nah fuck hanlons razor. Evil people can be stupid but they are still evil. If the incompetence reaches this point it is also malice.

      I’m not saying both aren’t possible. And I’m not saying both don’t apply here.

      But in general, if you make it a practice to remember Hanlon’s razor, you will be both correct more often and generally happier. I’m just suggesting, do it for your own sake. Assume the best of intentions in people, because usually people do mean well. And also expect them to let you down by making genuinely stupid choices, because then you won’t be surprised when they do.

        I assume the best intentions of people that haven’t repeatedly proven that they do not have the best of intentions. Telsa has repeatedly shown that they are willing to break the law to accomplish something they want and this isn’t a huge step farther although considered.

        Sufficiently advanced ingorance is indistinguishable from malice.
