Yep, "dozens" sounds like simply the base rate for humans pushing the wrong pedal, especially since they bizarrely lump that number in with fires (extremely rare compared to gas cars) and an absurdly sweeping catch-all category of "other defects."
Their one piece of 'data' is literally worthless, but I guess terrible journalism is fine as long as it's anti-Tesla.

- cafard 2y agoIt does recall to me the complaints about Audis about forty years ago. People were reluctant to tell drivers, No, you pushed on the accelerator, not the brake, but on the other hand nobody was able to propose a different and plausible explanation. I'm perfectly happy with being anti-Tesla, by the way.
