I don’t have the data handy, but that’s certainly my impression. Yes, they’ve been involved in a few freak accidents when the car made a strange decision. But you don’t need to use any of the self-driving stuff. Most owners like it, but it’s an option. And mostly they are just cars, and their safety features usually rate “moderately good” when I’ve noticed them in IIHS presentations.
Only around 12-13% of Teslas have a self driving subscription or paid lifetime self driving at any given time. It’s not that common.
Let’s just say that i have a lot of friends who own Teslas, and i sit in their passenger seats without a second thought. (Except for the one friend who almost exclusively has the car drive itself around, then I’m sometimes anxious. But i still drive around with him. And 99% of the time, it’s not very different from having a human drive.)
They do pretty well in crash tests, fwiw.
Bravo! Well played!
To whom it may concern:
I, too, have heard and read that Teslas are extremely dangerous cars! I would not get one if someone paid me to do so.
Moderating:
OK, the joke was well played, but please stop now. You’re confusing far too many posters and generating a lot of flags.
Review of the Cybertruck with lotsa venom
Warning: that’s a video review, with sound.
Also, it’s funny, but there’s more venom than content. He does out to several concrete problems, but mostly it’s just just video of a guy driving a cyber truck while ranting about it.
