As opposed to not responding to active shooters out of cowardice, like now?

According to Andrews, another reason why the frequency of air patrol has fallen is that it was never cost-effective for helicopters to loiter over a section of freeway to catch speeders.
The car has not been crash tested by the IIHS or the NHTSA. Since it’s mis-classified as a Class 3 light truck (it’s about 900 pounds short of the GVW requirement, but Musk doesn’t care), it’s exempt from a lot of otherwise required safety details.
you literally can’t take it into a car wash because they have unprotected wiring that runs through places where water can accumulate
I haven’t seen/read any reviews for the Vinfast, but the Fisker Ocean’s bad press comes mainly from software bugs. The design and execution of the physical car itself were actually praised.
The Cybertruck is absolutely NOT the first production vehicle with a 48v architecture. Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, Bentley, Porsche, and even Hyundai have had 48v systems in their mild hybrids since at least 2018. I believe the Cybertruck is the first EV with a 48v system, but Tesla is in no way a pioneer of this…
unexplained fires are a matter for the courts
Confirmation of your bias exists in the fact that many of those articles you complain about are sourced from Tesla owners. Jalopnik didn’t create them from thin air.
It has no crumple zones. It has no side impact rails. It has a steer by wire system with no mechanical backup, so if you lose power mid-corner you’re going to die. It cannot go through a car wash without ruining the body panels. It has a windshield wiper that breaks down constantly. It has a manual release for the…
Even the 48V architecture has been around for quite a while. There was a push among the SAE to implement it well over a decade ago. I’ll give Tesla credit for being the first to implement it into a production vehicle.
I’m indeed very well aware how deep the anti-Tesla biased reporting has descended to...
You can’t reach into the bed from the side. The tailgate doesn’t close automatically. The windshield is absurdly flat and large so the big windshield wiper fails. The pedals fall off until you bolt them back on. The unpainted stainless is so hard to clean that half of buyers are wrapping the vehicle. The door handles…
That’s probably because Elon had more personal input with the Cybertruck than any of Tesla’s other products.
Steering issues, accelerator pedal recall, ride issues, wiper issues, and having to “wash” my vehicle with isopropyl alcohol to name only a few off the top of my head. I won’t even get into the issues of people getting hurt on the sharp edges or unnecessary cost cutting measures that make a $100K vehicle feel cheap as…
None of the features you mentioned (except for maybe the voltage) are unique in any way and are technologies that have been around for a decade or more. The steer-by-wire is not the first, but is apparently the first without a mechanical fail-safe. So the Cybertruck IS the best at deleting practical engineering and…
Design opinions aside, it’s the worst engineered vehicle on sale in the US today. I would trust a Fisker Ocean (no long on sale) or even a VinFast before taking a Cybertruck on the road.
Just imagine how stupid you have to be to want a Tesla, pay the fascist, buy into his false promises, rely on a feature that is half-baked as per usual, and then back it up to something which overhangs the space, knowing the sensor is in the tail end.
If they focused on that, they wouldn’t have given him the largest payday in history while he grinds Tesla into dust. They’re all drug buddies and sycophantic cult members, they’ll do whatever he wants.
You are confusing conservatives with morons even though most of the time they are one and the same.
