27 people dying in explosions from a single car model is a really high number. This compares DEATHS from the Ford Pinto to FIRES for all models made by Tesla.
Edit: i don't think I was paying attention when reading this
Assuming that 83 fatalities is up to date for Tesla vehicle fires, is 16 deaths distributed per model a good stat to you?
"Not great, not terrible"?
To be fair, nobody else has innovated in the mobile crematorium industry nearly as much
This stat seems to be just fire related deaths while the graph is all deaths.
We probably need to compare deaths or number of fire or deaths due to fire divided by number of miles driven per model. Or something like that.

Yes, and how many models does Tesla have? 3? 4? Even divided by 4, 232 still is way WAY more than pinto and this is basically for ALL the Tesla models anyways

Are you factoring in the fact that there have been substantially more Tesla's sold than a Ford Pinto? Like, what's the per 100,000 units car sold metric?
Sheehan was driving home when the Cybertruck “left the road” and struck a large concrete culvert, after which the vehicle’s “hyper volatile” battery system went into “thermal runaway” – a chain reaction of short-circuits ultimately resulting in uncontrollable temperature escalation – and caught fire.
Once power was lost, it was impossible for Sheehan to open the Cybertruck’s electrically operated doors in the normal way, the complaint goes on, highlighting a major issue that has similarly doomed others riding in Teslas. The external door handles also failed to work, and the emergency manual door release handles within the Cybertruck are “unreasonably difficult to locate in an emergency,” the complaint states.
These design problems are so glaringly obvious that the fact Tesla hasn't bothered to fix them gives big "fuck you" vibes. A company's culture comes from the top.
they haven't bothered to fix them because elon doesn't give a fuck about dead people.
In Kanye voice “Elon Musk doesn’t care about dead people”
Sure is good that DOGE got rid of everyone who was investigating Tesla.
This should obviouslybe illegal, but you gotta be pretty fucking stupid to buy one in the first place.
Elon: If the bones disintegrated, how do you know anyone was even in there? 😏
I ket what ya mine
I ket what ya mine
Translation?
It's a ketamine pun
How appropriate that a Swastitruck cremates its drivers.
I'm sitting here wondering if the still, legally, need to go through a funeral home, or if the medical examiner just hands them a box and says "you guys are good".

It is beautiful.
Load up batteries into a Swastikar with a massive number of recalls that was manufactured by a company run by an ultimate idiot who lives by "move fast and break things" ...
What did you think you bought? Something good? 🤡 🫏 🖕 💩
You signed your death warrant when you bought an Incel Camino
The Camino was cool as shit. The swastidumpster looks like a stoned 3 year old drew it with what was left after snacking on a crayon

So, a mobile crematorium. How apt.
Fitting for a Nazi car really
The perfect fake death.
Take out huge loan. Take out massive life insurance policy. Flip Tesla. Ignite.
Idk, head to somewhere with no extradition by cargo boat or some shit.
Edit: okay there's a flaw. You gotta drive a cyber truck.
Just pretend you're German and go to Venezuela.
okay but that's pretty fucking metal
I'd say the cybertruck is quite the opposite: ugly fucking metal
pretty ugly metal?
Oh cool. The deathtrap also has "cremation mode" enabled. Saves everyone the trouble I suppose.

5 out of 10: Shit car; great Viking funeral.
Technician A: "Here's where the infant went through the windshield. Three points."
Technician B: "The teenager's braces around the backseat ashtray would make a good "anti-smoking" ad.
Technician A: "The father must've been huge. See how the fat burnt into the driver's seat with his polyester shirt? Very "modern art."
Mmm cha mmm mm cha Mmm cha mmm mm cha

It's all computers!
a 100k charcuterie machine, a mobile crematorium, or a venison slicer. a swiss army knife of cars.
Tesla ad: SAVE BIG ON BURIAL/CREMATION SERVICES

They'll find a way to charge for it soon
