    I’m all for hating on Tesla for legitimate issues, but the driver of that car crashed into a concrete pillar doing in excess of 120MPH, which probably has a lot more to do with why they died than anything else. Fires and being trapped inside mangled wreckage can happen with any vehicle, especially at speeds like that.

      I felt like making a sarcastic comment about “all that extra safety tech”.
      But 120mph is pretty fucking ridiculous.
      Except, that’s a head on collision on a 60mph road.
      So, I’m not sure how to feel.

      Still don’t think I’d get in a Tesla just on principle, tho
