Two horrific, similar crashes in our county just this fall.

authorssd.bsky.social•167 days ago

Why is anyone still buying Tesla products at this point?

weallhumanbeans.bsky.social•167 days ago

If they are buying now, you can be sure they are maga or maga apologists

djjakej.bsky.social•167 days ago

They only must report if a crash happened within 30 seconds of self drive activation! So why would we not want to know?

bluefinn420.bsky.social•168 days ago

That is bc his car is a plastic POS and he knows it.

energylawjack.bsky.social•167 days ago

Civil lawsuits. Big ones. It’s all we got left apparently 😭

janettes-999.bsky.social•168 days ago

$250m buys a billionaire a lot of quid pro quo! Musk is definitely going to get his money’s worth out of his campaign contributions.

kanadianraven.bsky.social•168 days ago

A sure indication that the President is buyable if there ever was one. Not that it's breaking news... sigh.

borninthenorth.bsky.social•167 days ago

Good thing my lawyer is John Morgan . 🤣🤣

tillyp.bsky.social•168 days ago

I think it's time we stop talking about Trump, this is a tactic to keep us all busy and reacting. This is about Russia and what they are doing. We need to all be talking about Russia & National Security threats if we are going to save our Country.

blatant kakistocracy.
crony, grifty capitalism in full view for all to see.
a complete fail of the smell test, done blithely and boldly.

Fuck your life, says Trump

cjistired.bsky.social•168 days ago

Jeesuz. People are going to die.

constantcait.bsky.social•167 days ago

The market will sort this out when people stop buying Teslas because they don't want to die in one. The sad thing is that people will have to die before that happens instead of us, you know, just being proactive about it with regulations and shit.

European report:
The average accident rate due to Telsa self driving cars: 24 accidents every 1000 autos on the road.

It is only the make the most money for me concept of running like a biz.

I mean, he's certainly welcome to try. I'm sure Caliornia will have some thoughts about it, though.

And shareholders are hoping that this will sell more cars because there is no number to look bad... Sigh.

strongslienttype.bsky.social•168 days ago

Who knew Trump would be carrying Elon’s water

eeyor2100.bsky.social•168 days ago

I guess his cars aren’t so safe after all. And maybe he wants to cut more corners to make them less safe. Don’t buy his cars, is the lesson I am learning here.

daven50.bsky.social•167 days ago

And to hell with American consumers, right?

infinitedetritus.bsky.social•167 days ago

He has one goal:

be the first “trillionaire”

lorenabobbitttime.bsky.social•167 days ago

That's so awesome. Praise invisible sky 💩!
Who needs safety?!

isaco-1.bsky.social•167 days ago

Of course Elon does, oh you said trump! wtf cares what the mungia cake thinks!

bobnpa.bsky.social•168 days ago

If Elonia is successful, every crash victims family should sue Tesla and Elonia for a defective product as being the cause of the crash. Elonia will have no safety standards to stand behind, and he has deep pockets

Elon Musk’s DOGE partner Vivek Ramaswamy says they’ll scrutinize $6.6 billion Biden loan to Tesla rival Rivian

R’s also want to invest $100 billion of taxpayer $ into dark $ filled bitcoin/crypto - to further enrich crypto bros like Musk, Thiel, Sachs, Trump - while deregulating oversight: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/this-is-an-enormous-heist-chris-hayes-sounds-the-alarm-on-republican-bill-that-would-transfer-100-billion-to-bitcoin-owners/amp/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0VB_8ADhExvPrrPOJDI2F0E8russF9FDHix1sE_O2PNRMBDKXo7qYx4Vk_aem_M_oj774vkoM0_5md9lA9wA

pawspatspaws.bsky.social•168 days ago

So the rest of us have to drive in fear that those damn teslas will burst into flames in front of us. Or run traffic lights and cause innocent people who are ALSO driving on taxpayer built roads because a billionaire who already gets tax breaks wants to deregulate his teslas.

jackvelada.bsky.social•168 days ago

Fortunately Musk doesn't own Boeing...
Corruption reshaping safety standards in industry. Looks like the russian business model.

democracyworker.bsky.social•168 days ago

Getting rid of Social Security, Medicare, vaccines, flouride in water, car-crash reporting —

Sounds like they want us dead🤔

But we already knew that — we found that out during COVID.

If insurance stop covering them, the govt regulations won’t matter. Tesla will be dead.

They both want the same thing - no oversight.

dilo62.bsky.social•167 days ago

Because they say “Regulations BAD!” To which I say, some human(s) had 2 do some really BAD SHIT 4 our lame ass Congress 2 fire up the presses & pass a law to STOP the BAD SHIT!! Dead people due to car defects, whether intentional (Ford Pinto) or not, is something we should try to avoid, NOT ENABLE!

tracewood.bsky.social•167 days ago

Per Road and Track magazine: Tesla fatality rates are double that of the average vehicle.

kiloquebec.bsky.social•167 days ago

He learned from the NRA and their opposition to gun death record keeping. Can't use statistical data to argue something needs to be regulated if there's no data!

allchristmas.bsky.social•167 days ago

Wait until it happens to him!

scdanis.bsky.social•168 days ago

Did I mention I'm not in the market for any of Elon's cars? Sometimes capitalism will do its thing, and an awful product just won't have much demand.🤷‍♂️

rexsikesmovebt.bsky.social•167 days ago

of course he does - deregulate the violators, cut their taxes, transfer money to the top and regulate and remove any benefits the citizen might have received. it's all about wealth transfer, proper, power and control

karmaisawoman.bsky.social•167 days ago

Isn’t that just like Trump corruption aside with Elonia. What does he care about the citizens of the country when he’s chauffeured around in a bulletproof and I’m quite sure very secure SUV.

dzaia40.bsky.social•168 days ago

"Elon will handle it."

suavegave.bsky.social•168 days ago

Can’t wait until they bring back lead pipes and leather helmets.

whatsrealhere2.bsky.social•167 days ago

This is one reason Trump wants to deregulate

Products & food won't be safe

Corporate owners will make more money & won't care who dies

Their insurance covers accidental deaths, as long as it's cheaper to pay off victims than to recall defective products they won't recall stuff, & ppl will die

kimmer.bsky.social•167 days ago

For FFS is there anything Musk isn't getting in this deal?

weallhumanbeans.bsky.social•167 days ago

Anyone willing to fuck him for free. That will never exist.

rosthaus.bsky.social•167 days ago

This doesn't even make sense. Are they going to censor public reports on autonomous accidents from the EU, China, and the Rest of the World?

angrygrrrl1111.bsky.social•167 days ago

This should go well. [Sigh]

danmeusersbotox.bsky.social•167 days ago

Publish it now before the pos is sworn into office

weallhumanbeans.bsky.social•167 days ago

This goes through and the only safe way for everyone to drive with teslas on the road, will be to take the air out of their tires and keep them off the road.

begemot13.bsky.social•167 days ago

Another good reason NOT to buy Tesla.

Leon's "Cybertruck" is an abortion...

curtislowe.bsky.social•168 days ago

The NHTSA named Tesla one of the deadliest car brands.

taylormade50.bsky.social•168 days ago

What was the reasoning behind the cars named one the deadliest brands.

I know the answer. Just want to know if you do?

By the Elon suck ass.

curtislowe.bsky.social•168 days ago

Obviously the high number of deaths per mile driven.

taylormade50.bsky.social•168 days ago

You're almost there. Why are there so many deaths? Remember a Tesla was driven off a cliff and the family survived.

curtislowe.bsky.social•168 days ago

I don't know what answer you're looking for and I'm not in the mood to play games.

popcicletoes72.bsky.social•167 days ago

Of course! What else do you do when reports are full of Teslas catching fire in garages but sweep it under the rug? Nothing to see here, move along…

f8d-me.bsky.social•168 days ago

No one should be buying Tesla’s right now… unless you might want to die, I guess.

derkrustenshultz.bsky.social•168 days ago

It’s the body on the other end of the bumper

f8d-me.bsky.social•168 days ago

“The study, conducted on 2018-2022 model year vehicles, looked at crashes between 2017 and 2022 that resulted in at least one of the occupants’ death.” This suggests it’s on the inside…

derkrustenshultz.bsky.social•168 days ago

I was referring to their autopilot, but I guess that’s what this study is talking about.

bangkokchas.bsky.social•168 days ago

Just stop reporting murders. Crime rate goes down. MAGA trump philosophy. Remember pos trump telling the media not to report the Covid deaths that he was responsible for?
