Elon Musk loves to talk about how safe Teslas are and how their autonomous driving systems are safer than humans.

But new data from the US road safety regulator shows Teslas have the highest rate of fatal accidents among all US vehicle brands.

Just a few weeks ago I was driving on the motorway. I was passing a truck and saw a Tesla approaching behind me. It was going pretty fast (and I was already at the speed limit) so I went back on the truck lane after passing the truck. The Tesla, instead of passing me, followed me in the same lane while suddenly accelerating (in a very artificial manner), as if I wasn't there. I had to accelerate to avoid it crashing into us. Fortunately, it didn't hit us and passed me at the last moment, but that was totally unsafe and weird, especially on a motorway where everyone is already going pretty fast.
Wish I had taken the licence number to report it but I was too shocked.

Afterwards I realised that because my car was white and we were on a hill with the sky in front of us, the Tesla probably did not detect us, and clearly the driver wasn't paying attention. Super dangerous not only to themselves but also to others, they should be banned.

"Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System."

Tesla's fatality rate is double the national average. Driver behavior is a contributing factor to the high number of deaths (i.e. shitty-driving assholes are more likely to buy Teslas and die or kill someone else while driving them).

👉Be advised: Pages contain video. Clips are cut just before impact, but anyway.

Looks like no braking, no attempt to avoid collision by changing into free opposite lane. Good luck with "next year's" "daylight-only #Robotaxi"… 🤐

“I have a ‘sell’ rating on Tesla,” the NY security analyst said. “If Trump wins and Musk is in government, who knows what is going to happen to his enemies. I have a 4-month-old son and Daddy going to jail would be a problem. I’m not rich. I’d drop my coverage of Tesla. »

“I understand that Musk is on the wrong side of the line for many people, including myself. But the desire to cancel is so hard for me to understand.”

How were you cancelled, Jesse? Did you experience any real consequences? Or does being cancelled just mean your fee-fees were hurt?

Fluorescent green sodium hydroxide liquid, leaked from Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, flows along a street gutter. The chemical, which is used as coolant for Tesla's "AI supercomputer," eventually ran into Matadero Creek. Fire officials say more than 500 gallons were recovered, as cleanup efforts continue into next week.

Tesla doesn't have a permit to store the chemical, and "could be fined."
