How many Teslas have been purchased and how many Teslas ended up in this situation? While it's a sucky design decision, it's sucky in an extreme edge case. S/Could it be fixed? Sure why not. Has something equally as ridiculous killed people in Ford f150s, Honda odessys, or Toyota Camrys like stupid gas tank configuration or glass that doesn't break or seatbelts you can't cut? I would put money on it. But nobody reports on that because the cool thing to do is smugly say Tesla sucks.
And they do! I have two and they are shitty made cars, but they have an enviable charging network and are constantly improving software and features. Mostly they are making Ford/Chevy/Honda get off their asses and do something and that's ok with me.
4 people. FOUR? 2 maybe 3 cars out of a fucking GAZILLION? Sorry for those people and their families but that's not a percentage where I complain or make an effort to change anything as a consumer.
I'm not reading all that. Learn to cope.
Must be american. Reading and thinking are just too much effort. Learn to fuck :).
