The Tesla Fatality Index
At this point I refuse to park next to a Tesla.
…why?
With all the problems that make headline news, it is easily the one manufacturer that gets the most negative publicity. They sound like death traps and I would not go near them on purpose.
You think they will spontaneously combust if you park next to one?
Make sure to not park next to a Chevy Volt instead.
Have you considered that it might just be trendy to dunk on Tesla? These issues are in no way unique to their vehicles, and the over-representation in the news skews our perception of how dangerous they actually are.
There are 40k traffic fatalities in the U.S. alone every year. That’s 110 per day. Nobody gives a shit when Kia Ceed plows into pedestrians but when it’s a Tesla it’s instant clicks.
