The car with a dashboard that looks like it has been explicitly engineered to smash your skull to bits with any sizeable crash [0] has basic design flaws ? The car that ignores 70 years of car safety protocols and that looks like it has been explicitly engineered to snap pedestrians in half (or straight up aim for the skull of children) in a frontal collision [1] has basic design flaws ? Next thing you're going to tell me that Elon is completely incompetent and that Tesla is a dogshit company at building cars, with zero experience or anyone from the industry. I can't believe it.

Yeah I am really curious what they have done design-wise to make the thing street legal. It does seem like a death machine for several reasons, but I’m assuming that the obviously dangerous aspects would be illegal already so there must be some creative workarounds happening (or the regulations are much looser than I had assumed).

"Next thing you're going to tell me that Elon is completely incompetent and that Tesla is a dogshit company at building cars" Tesla is incompetent? Their cars are all rated among the most safe. They now have the best selling car in the world, electric or gas, and other automakers are adopting their standards. They are incompetent though huh?

  They are amongst the most unreliable cars in the world [0][1] (it's more likely to break down than a damn Ford, which is already unbelievably bad), has been this way for the past 5 years. The model Y is the best selling car in the world _for a single 2023 quarter_, in a context that heavily favors it (EV hype + awful economic state of the world means only expensive cars get sold), while being eaten alive by most brands the rest of the year. Their software is an active threat to pedestrians and other drivers, their behaviour is a threat to their own customers. A few American automakers are adopting their standards because the US has a non-existant EV ecosystem, and Tesla refuses to work with CCS like the rest of the world. Yeah, I'll stick with "Tesla as a whole is incompetent", thanks.
