Interesting crash list. A bunch of low speed crashes, one bus hit the Tesla while the Tesla was stationary, and one 17mph into static object (ouch).
For those complaining about Tesla's redactions - fair and good. That said, Tesla formed its media strategy at a time when gas car companies and shorts bought ENTIRE MEDIA ORGs just to trash them to back their short. Their hopefulness about a good showing on the media side died with Clarkson and co faking dead batteries in a roadster test -- so, yes, they're paranoid, but also, they spent years with everyone out to get them.
- margalabargala 8mo agoIt does not reflect well on Tesla to have failed to update their media structure now that EVs are everywhere and no longer a threat to existing car companies.
- maxdo 8mo agoEV's are even bigger threat now if you outside regulated bubble in US. everywhere else, china dominates the market with cheaper and cheaper EV's, while EU/US automakers fail to compete. replace tesla with china.
- margalabargala 8mo agoEVs aren't a threat because every automaker now has an EV program and has for years. It's now carmaker vs carmaker, not kind of car vs kind of car.
- testing22321 8mo agoLiterally all the us carmakers are cancelling their EVs.
- AlexandrB 8mo agoIt's funny how one can see a persecuted underdog in a company that claimed full self driving (coast to coast) almost a decade ago and had not delivered anything close until just last year. I wonder how the folks who bought their "appreciating asset"[1] in 2019 feel about their cars' current value.

- LightBug1 8mo agoYeah, you can get a used Tesla for a bag of chips where I am ... and I still wouldn't buy one.
- the_sleaze_ 8mo agoI just got one after the 14.2 update. Best car I've owned, I run >90% self driving. Is it ready for totally autonomous driving? No. It gets confused. They'll get there soon enough.
- fgfarben 8mo agoNot with the non-self-cleaning sensor suite they have right now.
- LightBug1 8mo agoIf new, you just funded a narcissistic wanker and his ding-a-ling tribe. Just saying. If used, good on you. You're not making things much worse. I've seen people cheap out and buy performance diesels as they'd depreciated so much. Picking up a cheapo Tesla is at least better than that sorry outcome. Thanks.

- malfist 8mo agoWhat media company did Ford buy? What about Honda? Or Toyota? On the flip side, I can think of a very specific media site the Elon purchased.
- luddit3 8mo agoWhich media org was bought for this? Are you being sarcastic due to Elon buying Twitter to own/control the conversation? He would be a poster child for the bad actions you are describing.
- ra7 8mo agoThere’s also one where Tesla hit a parked truck: “13781-13644 Street, Heavy truck, No injuries, Proceeding Straight (Heavy truck: parked), 4mph, contact area: left”
- nebula8804 8mo agoDo you have documentation of these moves by shorts? I was there day one at /r/realtesla and I know the events that led to the formation of that sub. A lot of what you describe wasn't part of the lore so im curious to fill in the blanks looking back. Also as a disclaimer I need to know if you were long the stock at the time. Too much distortion caused by both shorts and longs. I wasn't on either side but I learned after many hard years that so much on /r/teslamotors and /r/realtels was just pure nonsense.
- vessenes 8mo agoSadly I was not long the stock then. I remember clearly a very bad investment decision day - I got a model 3, loved it, sold my Volvo XC60 Inscription, heretofore my favorite daily driver - and did not buy TSLA stock with the proceeds. Expensive mistake. I don't have documentation, I was just an interested bystander.
