Your self-driving Teslas literally drove a woman to the sea where it acted as her watery coffin, this was also the sister-in-law of a major Senator of the party YOU support

Can't imagine what they'd do to people you actually don't like.

I thought it was a pond on a ranch and she was drunk driving and the primary issue was the doors wouldn't open so she drowned in the car? There was also recently a Cybertruck that crashed and burst into flames and the doors wouldn't open so the teenagers inside were burned to death in what could have otherwise been a survivable crash.

The problem is the physical latch is hidden for esthetic purposes. So when something happens that cuts power to the main door release, it's not easy to find the physical latch.

So for liability purposes they get to argue that those people weren't locked in, they just didn't know the safely mechanisms well enough.

In other words, they're built to kill you and get away with it.

Yeah, I remember this at the time and while a lot of people were relishing the schadenfreude, there was still the perennial point that when UI/UX is any more difficult than it needs to be for a loathesome person, it's equally difficult for everyone else, too. And when that UI is repsonsible for fundamental safety and it's overcomplexity results in confusion during an emergency... well, yeah, there it is.

He didn't mean for it to affect him, his share prices, or his job!

Awhh, boo hoo

What did he think was going to happen?

[–] Pupscent 3 points 1 day ago

Like everyone down there, they feel it will happen to everyone else, not them.

Insurance fraud

The funny thing is, he doesn't even feel it that much. His ownership of Tesla is peanuts compared to SpaceX, where the contracts with the government are. Just some food for taught 🤔

? ~60% of his wealth is estimated to be in Tesla shares

His net worth is definitely affected by Tesla shares declining
