Not only has Tesla failed to deliver a safe vehicle as promised, there’s evidence it’s making roads exponentially less safe for everyone… and especially Tesla owners.
Two Teslas crashed in Commerce City on Wednesday, sending both drivers to the hospital. According to the Commerce City Police Department, the crash occurred at Landmark Drive and 104th Avenue intersection. The intersection is largely residential, east of Second Creek Open Space and Chambers Road.
While the Tesla CEO often falsely claims his cars have “collision avoidance”, crashes like this prove nobody should be buying his lies.
The company didn’t speculate on how much [their January 2017 press] release might improve safety, but Musk said that the final effect would be massive. “Our target is a 90 percent reduction [in crashes] as the software matures,” he posted on Twitter.
He said 90 percent only because it sounds really good to investors, not in any way basing such stock-pumping claims on facts about actual crashes. And since 2017 what has happened? Tesla safety plummeted, deaths and injuries rocketed.
