Tesla’s fraudulent practices are evident through a tragic incident involving a drunk driver in a Tesla who rammed into a motorcyclist at almost 100 mph while running a red light, resulting in the motorcyclist’s death. This event highlights several dangerous aspects of Tesla’s approach to safety on public roads, illustrating the extent of their predatory fraud.
As Noon, on her motorcycle, approached the intersection of Boca Rio Road the light began to change from green to yellow. She began to slow her motorcycle for the upcoming red light.
Within the report, deputies state Dorfman, in his Tesla, was traveling at 95 mph and accelerating 104 mph prior to the collision. Way above the speed limit of Boca Rio Road which is 45 mph.
Ignoring rules of the road
Running red lights at high speed has become a common occurrence among Tesla drivers, who seem to possess a disregard for traffic rules and safety signs. The car’s engineers have programmed it to treat safety signs as optional, and “test” drivers have further ingrained this behavior into the software. As a result, police have commented on a significant increase in intersection crashes caused by Tesla vehicles. Even recent tests in 2023 show the Tesla software consistently running red lights and ignoring stop signs.
Ignoring cyclists
Another concerning issue is Tesla’s repeated involvement in fatal collisions with motorcyclists. Safety experts have been investigating this problem for years. Ironically, or perhaps knowingly fraudulent, Tesla’s CEO initially introduced the “Autopilot” feature in response to a cyclist’s death caused by a Tesla. The entire promise of “Autopilot” since introduction in 2013 was to eliminate accidents because of a cyclist killed by Tesla. Even recent tests in 2023 show the Tesla software consistently ignoring cyclists.
Ignoring the inability to operate safely
Tesla has also attempted to suggest that their cars can drive themselves to address the issue of drunk driving, similar to Uber’s claims. This has led drunk drivers to believe they can exploit this feature as a safety loophole, leading to incidents where they attempt to evade responsibility by relying on Tesla’s CEO’s statements about the safety of drunk driving in their vehicles. Multiple crash reports in 2023 show the Tesla software consistently being engaged by drivers who are completely unable to safely operate the vehicle.
Ultimately, the recent crash highlights three dramatic failures and that the concept of “Autopilot” has always been a profit-driven fraud rather than a genuine safety effort.
Tesla’s blatant disregard for safety in order to juice profits has caused numerous tragedies, drawing parallels to Bernie Madoff’s balloon approach to fraudulent schemes. The only remaining question is when Tesla’s façade will crumble and how the CEO will be held accountable for the growing unnecessary suffering caused by obviously deceptive practices.
