Comment on Las Vegas deploys world’s first Tesla Cybertruck police fleet
blackbelt352@lemmy.world 1 day agoWas the crown vic explody? I know the Pinto was because of how the gas tank was built, and the Crown Vic had a bunch of recalls because it was just stress tested that much by nature of being commonly used by cops and taxi companies but I don’t recall the crown vic having major flaws like that.

Did not know that, appreciate the info! One thought I had though is that the Crown Vic may have had more deaths than the Pinto, was that because they were actually more prone to explode than the Pinto or does the fact that it was so widely used by cops, taxis and groups using a fleet of cars account for the elevated numbers?
