> they responded by accusing him of intentionally activating the feature and misusing it This is the real problem here. When it comes to safety systems, PEBKAC is just not a thing you can claim. It's always a UX issue. Just ask the designers of that Chernobyl plant.

It's always a UX issue. I agree with you in this case. A Tesla is a mass market item. It should be held to very high safetly standards. Just ask the designers of that Chernobyl plant. I somewhat disagree here. It was 1960's technology. Even now, complex systems like that inevitably have a plethora of ways that humans can screw them up. It's very hard to completely prevent determined idiots from destroying the equipment.
