Imagine if it were your loved one who died in a Tesla using a technology that Tesla knew or should have known to be deficient and intentionally oversold its capabilities. Would you shrug and point to industry statistics? Or would you be mad at Tesla? Be honest. Frankly, the attitude that Tesla should be allowed to test their beta-quality products on public roads (I certainly didn't agree to participate in the beta test) is what I find to be ridiculous.
