So is this just the gratuitous 'Musk has fucked up, better send out some PR pieces'? Because this article is basically just some guy off reddit. How would you feel walking into a showroom asking about how it fairs in crash tests and the salesmen says 'well some guy on reddit said it was fine'?
- josefresco 8y agoPretty sure the sales guy would mention, you know... actual crash test results. I agree this might be PR spin but the Tesla (all of them) tests quite well, well enough that they don't need to rely on "some guy on Reddit". Edit: I realized this is specifically about the Model 3, which doesn't have official data yet. What I said is probably still accurate - what do BMW salespeople say about a new model that doesn't have data in yet? Probably: "Look how safe our other cars are!"

- dsfyu404ed 8y agoSample size of one in uncontrolled circumstances (i.e. one crash in the real world as opposed to semi-scientifically conducted crash tests designed to give information from which we can infer real world performance) tells us very little. Depending on the circumstances a barrel roll down the highway and/or median could be a batting practice pitch over home plate because there's practically an eternity over which the vehicle decelerates (or it could be a really tough crash, it depends on the details, we don't know). Edit: and I'm wrong because? I'm not even bashing Tesla here.
- ryzvonusef 8y agooh come on, surely you are not suggesting the crash was deliberate?
