Assume we lived in a communist society instead. How would you view the problem differently?
- code_duck 3y agoAct to prevent maiming and killing customers and the public even if it costs the company more money?
- dieselgate 3y agoIt's a quote from Fight Club
- tempestn 3y agoYou'd be less likely to recall, because there's no longer a risk of lawsuit.
- inamberclad 3y agoWhy would a communist society not have a risk of a lawsuit?
- dilyevsky 3y agoIn all the attempts that have been tried there was no separation of judiciary power (generally it’s a lot easier to murder and rob millions of their property when this is the case) so good luck suing the state that controls all courts
- jtaft 3y agoInteresting, In either system I don’t think I would take resources used for lawsuits into account and get the vehicles fixed (or replaced, until they are safe). We have the responsibility to care for each-other.
- tempestn 3y agoI agree; not saying what I'd do. Just answering the question of what would likely be different in a communist society, based on real world examples. The value given to human life seems demonstrably lower on average.
- inamberclad 3y agoI'd say that Tesla is unfairly putting the burden of defective vehicles on consumers and externalizing the cost of their failures.
- trevorhinesley 3y agoThe reality is, we likely wouldn’t have this particular problem because we wouldn’t have Tesla. Capitalistic incentives are what drive that kind of innovation. We would, however, have a whole slew of other problems, as evidenced by historical attempts at communism.
- jtaft 3y agoI think humans are curious beings.I don’t think it would stifle innovation. Quite the Contrary, more effort will be spent on useful innovation rather than profit seeking.
- defrost 3y agoIf only we lived in a world that had alternatives to US "capitalism" and Soviet "communism". But alas, these are the only possibilities. /s
