Here, they are responding to someone who asks “if I put a brick on the accelerator and crashed my car, would it be the manufacturer’s fault?”
- w0m 6y agoBut here Tesla isn't selling a $10,000 dollar brick; they're selling a $10,000 dollar system and reviewers are bringing their own Brick to circumvent safety systems built in. When the driver has to willfully circumvent built-in safety features to do something clearly stupid; the line comes in on the side of "That person is an idiot" not "The system is inherently broken". Example: Ford could prevent people from doing stupid burnouts leaving car shows because mustangs fly into crowds multiple times a year. I don't see a difference, stupid driver is stupid driver.
