in 20 years nobody will be buying a tesla because theyll have killed off their repeat buyers

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

I think they will end up just running charging stations eventually and not selling cars

When Elon’s DOGE kills the economy, I don’t know who he thinks will be able to buy his shit. Maybe he can sell in Europe.

Nope, here a lot of people are wising up too. And he is constantly fighting with unions. His company will be oblitherated by the Chinese EV companies.

And Cybertrucks won't pass certification here.

That's how a "free market" is actually supposed to work.

We DO NOT have a free market, nor do we have the regulations required to keep the economy on a sustainable growth track. Which is why we reliably implode. We took the worst of both economic systems and gave a few oligarchs that control conglomerate corporations free reign to enrich themselves through crisis capitalism.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

No we don't have a free market and we should not want one. A market completely devoid of regulations ignores reality.

Too bad the US has actively banned Chinese EVs from being imported to focus or their own behind the times shit models.

I don't actively research EVs yet as I'm not in the market, but that's what I've read whenever I get a little interest in them. I'm not keen on investing until there are more charging places in my area before getting serious on the switch.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

That's fair. I'm from a small country with a very high charge station density.. so for anything local it's a no brainer. Plus I have a driveway to change on.

He won’t care, it’s all a game to him. He has already moved on from Tesla. I’d be surprised if a new model came out at this point.

Perhaps people who truly believe they are in a simulation shouldn’t be allowed to play the game.

All less than 10 caught in cars in like 12 years? I mean, the cars are made like shit and it's SO COOL to shit talk a TESLA, like oh my god how cool!

But...

By the units we got a way to go here my man.

[-] machinin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

How many?

https://www.tesla-fire.com/

Also, the bigger issue is not being able to escape the fire because you can't find the manual releases. Pretty horrible death. Probably done that way to save a little bit of extra money to line Musk's pockets.

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works -2 points 9 hours ago

Probably every vehicle has some number of stupid deaths. I assume you don't fly because Boeing fucked up. That's way more than 83 people if just one plane crashes.

It's just way cooler to shit on Tesla though. Very trendy. Very cool.

0.052% (232 / 443,956) fire rate.

Comparison to Industry Average: For context, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports an average fire rate of 1.5 crashes per million miles for all vehicles. Tesla’s fire rate of 0.052% (based on the reported 232 fires) is significantly lower than this industry average.

But it's not very cool to do research that way shrug

[-] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

What's Tesla’s fire rate per million miles?

And an 'average fire rate of 1.5 crashes per million miles' is unclear.

What's the distinction between crashes and fires here? Is like to make sense of the stats.

[-] machinin@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

You seem awfully upset that people are criticizing Tesla. Are you okay?
