Obviously some people don't have much choice where there isn't anything else, but if they have the choice, I never understand why anybody would pay that amount of money for a taxi. If possible, you can also avoid those capitalistic companies by using local transit.

My local transit agency has trains and buses, but no Teslas. They are also charging exponentially less than a taxi that's backed by equity firms. And much safer than cars. All cars.

If a person has so little self preservation as to buy one at this point, maybe this is free market regulating itself?

Holy fuck this is all arguably not hyperbolic, satirical, nor seen as extreme.

Too ridiculous for fiction. Except P.K. Dick I guess.

Makes you wonder if this is just another case of deregulation driving up its body count, or if a certain Nazi is acting out his oven fetish.

Because American consumers are obsessed with pointless gadgetry, and bullshit sells cars.

Moreover, how long will it take for US auto regulators to ban them the way China already has?

also the retractable door handles, which i dont like. seems many EV have copied that feature.

But have you considered how much cheaper they are to make? 🤔

cool factor first
safety third

Pretty sure it's unironically just that it looks futuristic and is cheaper or something. It's one of those things where there's not too much to it, it's just a dumb design.

Godspeed to you. I was convinced of the same thing a couple of years ago and lost my ass shorting that stock. Turns out, the market can stay manipulated for a long fucking time because there's no regulatory body that actually gives a shit.

Dont forget the windows are also laminated, so you can't just shatter them.

Sounds very safe..

"Rescuers" in this case refers to a dude running a paint shop running over with a fire extinguisher

The article doesn't say, but I'd assume EMS hadn't arrived by the time they all died
