3 year period, 6 years ago. Zero citations, just a blank statement.
Not only that, it's not believable. The Honda Odyssey sells in the hundreds of thousands per year. Nevermind the other cars.
There are over 30,000 vehicle fatalities per year in the US, but those models that have been around for years and are extremely popular with consumers ... have had zero fatalities?
Let me guess, it's because they're not Teslas. Who's really drinking the Kool-Aid?
> your accusations of FUD and being paid for it strongly smell of spiked Kool-Aid
I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong, but I'm getting tired of the lying.
- Fins 9y agoYes, sure, everybody is lying, only Saint Elon tells the truth. To go straight to the source, http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/50/1/1 http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/50/1/1 And we are talking about older cars that might not even have all the supposed safety features a "luxury" (not that it really were one) golf cart like Tesla supposedly has. Sorry, but you really should lay off the Kool-Aid. Not to say that Tesla were a death trap, but it is fart from being a safest car on the road, no matter what electric fanboys might want to believe.
- dang 9y agoI chided the user who accused you of being a shill, but I need to chide you as well. You've been using HN for flamewars, which is really not what we want on HN. You've also crossed into personal attack in this comment, and in others previously.
