  • Ah, yes, the thing we all haven't heard and seen constantly for years. /s

    Tesla's exploding has been widely covered since the very first one happened, both as actual news and jokes/memes. This image is dumb as fuck, simply because of that. And I'd say with certainty that a LOT more people are aware of Teslas exploding than how many even know there was a car named Fort Pinto.
    I'm all for Tesla going down the drain, and more of them exploding (without casualties), but report on that instead of making up dumb shit (that no one hears about it).

  • Different times, different causes, and different ratios of incidents to total cars. I hate Musk, think any potential for Teslas has declined heavily in quality, and lots of mistakes have been made in its development. But this kind of comparison is a definite apples and oranges. Plus grouping every incident under "blows up" and the cause of death is a bit much. How many of those were due to drivers? How many Teslas that did have some fire warned their driver to pull over and save them, vs. a Pinto that...would just catch fire and couldn't possibly do that.

    I mean be fair if you're going to be critical. There is plenty to be critical about, especially with the disaster known as the Cybertruck. Plus the last part...if no one is hearing about it, then why is it a damn meme at this point, and unjustified because while Tesla fires are a nasty thing to put out, there are still far more ICE fires, and THEY only get a side note in the local news, if that.
