The sheriff said Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped the investigation by having the truck unlocked after it auto-locked in the blast and giving investigators video of the suspect at charging stations along its route from Colorado to Las Vegas.
What if this hadn’t been purposeful but an accidental blast… and the doors auto-locked someone inside? Do you need Musk’s personal cell number to be able to get out alive? What even is this?
Seriously, how are Tesla’s not widely considered dangerous deathtraps at this point.
The Cybertruck is very much an actual shitty thing that Tesla does. Sure, maybe they don’t literally “have a habit of exploding all on their own,” but I don’t think Gork was exactly trying to play off as an authority on the topic. Just mocking Cybertrucks being shit.
Nobody’s attacking EVs writ large, here. Just Elon and his awful ideas.
Sure, I get that, but it still plays into the EV hate. I know they aren’t the single solution, they are a part of a bigger strategy. Just hate to see bad information spread, even through jokes.
I’m orange pilled so I agree it’s bad, but I can’t see anything but aesthetics that makes it any worse than any other light truck commonly used as urban transport.
Sure Musk inspired it and set its target specifications and price, but it was Tesla engineers who designed it, Tesla factory workers who built it and Musk’s companies don’t seem to have suffered from his fall from popularity
