Manish Vij<p>China, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Nepal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nepal</span></a> sprinted to <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/EVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EVs</span></a> because they aren’t afflicted with the oil curse like America (oil exports, political capture)</p>
Kristoffer Lawson<p>It's curious that in the US the deadliest <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/car" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>car</span></a> brand is <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tesla</span></a>, based on fatalities per billion miles driven. Curious given the overall high safety rating.</p><p><a href="https://www.motortrend.com/news/deadliest-car-brand-in-america" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">motortrend.com/news/deadliest-</span><span class="invisible">car-brand-in-america</span></a></p><p>Speculation but I would put this down to a few things:<br>* High power very fast cars<br>* High burning temp of <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/EVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EVs</span></a>? (Tesla being a pure EV brand)<br>* Confusion over emergency door latches (rear doors lack traditional handles)<br>* Difficulty of opening doors from outside<br>* Over reliance on driver assists<br>* Poor visibility!</p>
Kristoffer Lawson<p>And I say this as someone who actually believes he did have a significant impact on making Tesla what it became, and that Tesla as a company, and as one of the big innovators in <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/EVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EVs</span></a>, deserves better. I think this is all simply tragic.</p>
