Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The stupid things have had over a half dozen recalls in the last year. You couldn't pay me enough to get in one.
I already feel unsafe when I call a Lyft or Uber and get a Tesla. That alone removes a star.
I mean... this guy was possibly a suicide bomber.
I don't think there would be concerns over what happened if he got into a fender bender on the way there.
Tesla's are the most deadly vehicles per accident, for everyone not in one.
Got a source for that? I'd be curious for a read through.

So your original comment is false technically. You said they are the worst "per accident". The study you linked only looked at accidents with at least 1 fatality. That would ignore any accidents that might have resulted in a fatality, but due to the safety of the car, there were only injuries with no death. Granted that applies to the other cars as well, but at least something to note.
Also there's this quote from the article that contradicts your assertion.
The design of Tesla's should not take a hit like this because the drivers suck.
I wouldn't trust a cyber truck to even blow up correctly.
That's kind of a fucked up reason to decrease the rating of your driver, don't you think?
No, the back seats literally become death traps after a crash and cannot be opened without knowing where to look for a special release that requires disassembling floor or door panels. (It’s different for different models and years.) They are not suitable vehicles for taxi service.
Idk about other models but in a model 3 the manual door latch is like 3 inches from the door opening button
Depends on the year.
