You are correct, people died in Tesla's at a higher rate though. Could have sworn they blew up and caught fire more. Lucid's are super nice too. Seems like the Chinese are well ahead on the EV front though.

Extrapolated, one Tesla burns every 55 billion miles driven.

Traditional cars burn at a rate of one every 5 billion miles driven.

I don't doubt the death rate statistic though. On average it takes a terrible wreck for a Tesla to catch fire.

Li-ion batteries do not play well with water. I know EVs are the way of the future but Tesla has a long way to go to fix there fit and finish issues. QC seems very haphazard.

If you have a cell phone I really wouldn't worry too much about how our vehicles are tracking us...

LOL
I wonder if all the righties who rail against EVs will change their mind and buy one from President Elon.
I saw one a few days ago that had a sticker that said "I bought this before I found out he was crazy".

Anything connected to the internet. Congress sold our data to the biggest donors years ago.

Hell even ragin pagin sells our Data. We are tracked in every aspect in our lives. Get used to it.

There is a segment of right leaning tech workers that did pivot to Trump's base prior to the 2024 election. Now that same segment is having buyer's remorse because Trump and his tech robber baron allies are wanting to rely on cheap Indian labor force instead of American IT workers.
