Comment on Tesla recalls 120,000 vehicles over potentially faulty doors that could open in a crash

  For example, below is the kind of welding that passes muster at Tesla. The Tesla quality assurance as instituted by Musk himself is “don’t. It makes the wait lists shrink more slowly”.

  Would you feel safe accelerating 0-60 in under 4 seconds in two tons of badly assembled steel? I sure wouldn’t! Image Image Image

    Well, I’m more of a math and data kind of guy. I don’t drive a Tesla and likely never will but Tesla has exceeded safety test rankings beyond the vast majority of other manufacturers and has received numerous top accolades from very reputable safety sources. They may skimp on cosmetic quality, but their track record does not suggest they have on safety. But say what you want, my point here is that this is an echo chamber of nonsense and you will surely find the support you crave here.

      Those were all in the beginning when they were new and trying to impress the world. To say standards have slipped since then is the understatement of the century.

      Never trust a guy who says “I’m not a fan boy but” and then repeatedly brushes all criticism of what he’s pretending not to fanboy over as “echo chamber nonsense”. 😂

      Especially not after him repeating PR talking points almost word for word for what would have been at least two paragraphs with better formatting 🙄

        That’s an interesting stance. The logic of your statement reads as:

        If someone agrees with me I’m right. If someone disagrees with me, then the person disagreeing is automatically doing so in bad faith and their opinions should be automatically dismissed without consideration making me right.

        Under your logic what statements ever allow for someone to challenge or correct you and learn something new?
