Tesla factories in America have a reputation for safety disasters, significantly worse than any other car company.

“Everything started with ‘We’re going to automate so our injury rates can go really down because we’re going to be automated.’ Well, we’re not automated. We rely on humans to do a lot of the work,” […] “When I started, if they found one thing you were really good at, you were going to be there for 12 hours a day, five, six, seven days a week,” Ochoa said. The 31-year-old resident of Mountain House, California, ended up with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, which led to two surgeries and a permanent work restriction to avoid lifting anything heavier than 55 pounds.

Germany very foolishly allowed Tesla to build a factory there, and now it’s reporting the same problems from low or no safety.

When compared with accidents at Audi’s main plant in the Bavarian town of Ingolstadt, Tesla has about three times as many incidents per member of staff, Stern reported. “This is several times more than what is common in other car companies,” said Mr Schulze.

Tesla promises to automate to avoid the cost of human safety training, then they avoid the cost of automating because they find it easier to treat workers as disposable.

The end result is Tesla dumps cars out with little to no quality control and no way to improve.

One of the big hyped promises of Tesla since 2013 was the more cars, the more miles, somehow the better their safety.

That was fraud, because it’s been the exact opposite, and Germans are starting to figure it out.

The more Tesla, the more disasters.

Germans unfortunately have been finding out the hard way that the risk of a new Tesla crashing is as bad as ever if not getting worse.

Of course a Tesla on German roads makes about as much sense as ordering a Coors Light on tap in Munich. What happened to German laws regulating quality?

…beers like Miller Lite, Coors Light and Bud Light are the result of the industrialization of beer and a shift away from brewing’s artisanal roots. Traditional brewing processes have been abandoned, aging times have been shortened and cheaper ingredients, like corn, have been substituted.

Traditional processes have been abandoned, times have been shortened and cheaper ingredients have been substituted… sounds like copy pulled directly from Tesla’s marketing department about their disasterous German factory.

Tesla needs to face a simple ban, if there was ever a corny car that justified a Reinheitsgebot. Even the infamous Trabbi had higher standards.

Anyway, setting aside the obvious Himalayan blunder of a “new” car factory in Germany full of “misdocumented” eastern european workers who lack freedom…

Just a few weeks ago a Tesla outside Berlin experienced sudden unattended acceleration, speeding at 100km through a 30km zone before destroying itself.

And now a Tesla outside Berlin has crashed into the back of a truck, ripping its own roof off and injuring occupants.

These are two of the signature failures of Tesla, which have become known as intentionally unfixed since at least 2016.

Some details emerging from a new horrifying crash are different than most Tesla crashes, and yet sadly overall it is the same story.

Driving his Dodge Challenger ScatPack, which he certainly loved as much as he loved working with patients at Newman Family Dental, Dr. Clifford was on the road. However, on this ill-fated day, tragedy struck as his car was involved in a collision with a Tesla Model S.

Here’s what’s different: Every report I’ve seen makes very special mention of the model of the victim’s car. That ScatPack seems to be revered in Detroit news reports almost as much as human life.

The term ScatPack is what Dodge brands its cars that can run the quarter mile under 14 seconds. More importantly, it’s a nod to some specific Motor City history. ScatPack established a club for Dodge-enthusiasts to come together and honor hard-working, hard-charging dreamers. It meant paying a couple bucks to become a card-carrying member, with regular magazine and newsletter updates, a bumper sticker and colorful patch.

ScatCity epitomized 1970s pride in American muscle car community. This car probably meant the world to its owner, his family, their neighbors….

The crash scene suggests the Tesla flew at extreme speed southbound through an intersection, like a cruise missile straight into the rear of the ScatPack.

The ScatPack owner worked in a nearby office on northbound US-24 and was returning home. It will be interesting to find out if he made a left turn onto west-bound Carlysle and then onto south-bound US-24. In other words he may have pulled out and then turned in front of an oncoming Tesla that blew a red light and blindly slammed into him.

That would help explain why the Tesla traveling south-bound at extreme speed struck it from behind… related to the well-known “Autopilot” design flaw that fails to calculate for cross traffic.

Here’s what’s the same: the Tesla “Autopilot” keeps fatally slamming into vehicles slowly pulling out onto a highway. Impact with such high speed difference is a known long-standing design flaw — unfixed since 2016 — that begs why Tesla is still allowed to operate on public roads.

Authorities say that despite emergency response the ScatPack owner died soon after due to a “medical episode”. I wonder if he had a heart attack when he realized the loss to ScatCity.
