The key understanding to Tesla drivers is the draw for them to the car was that they wouldn’t have to drive it. That alone.

Make sense considering if anything goes wrong, we’re fucked.

You see it all the time in the US. A student graduates and starts working, they buy an entry-level SUV. They have one kid, and immediately put themselves in significant debt for as large of an SUV as they can afford.

STFU.

Having driven them, for a long-distance cruiser tyou can do a lot worse. The stereo was articulate, it was quiet and smooth, and it behaved predictably. No one was seeing these as a sports car, it was always a cruiser.

Lots of Volvos among daily drivers, and then stupid shitboxes at night when the libations are flowing?

If you want to compare states for fatalities, look at road type, age of vehicle, and emergency response time.

“Both absolute well-being and relative position seem to matter to people. Our evidence indicates that positional concerns are extremely important. In our survey, half of the respondents said they would prefer a world in which they have 50 percent less real income, so long as they have high relative income.”

There’s a sociological study of Americans graduating college that had them answer what they would prefer in a job as far as compensation.

Dude literally made his money selling common sense or other people’s advice in books to people with money trouble who are trying to get out of it. His popularity is from people who are doing better than others to listen to how bad they have it.

Don’t kink shame.

So anyone who has their weight wrong, or dyed their hair, I assume they’ll get caught up in this too?

Apparently, “Muh Freedoms” now include others’ choices in how to dress, present, and live as well.
