Tesla is not putting the public in any more danger than every other manufacturer that puts TACC and Lane-keeping in their vehicles.  We've had vehicles equipped with dumb cruise control on our roads for 65 years.

Mercedes assumes fault when their vehicle is an accident at L3. Tesla blames the owner for damages when washing the vehicle.

Tesla has ten times the market cap of Ford. Why are they making bush league mistakes on extremely limited runs of cars if they're supposed to be worth more than the next five largest automakers combined?

Recalls can make $$ for the dealer. While the accelerator issue may be legitimate, perhaps it's a way to keep some funds coming in to the folks that sell the trucks?

I don't even know who the CEO of Ford is. My news feed tried, unsuccessfully and annoyingly at first, to force me to know who Elon Musk was. That wasn't enough, so Elon Musk insisted and bought the world's largest social media site, because apparently I "didn't get" Elon or why he was the most interesting man the world in the first few hundred or so inescapable encounters. 

Now he's a clown fire confirming most things I suspected but had little idea were so cartoonishly accurate.

Do other manufacturers give these feature names like “FULL SELF DRIVING” or “AUTOPILOT”?

TACC, Lane Keeping and even dumb cruise control all have clear limitations which are advertised and the owner understand the limits of. They aren’t being told the car can drive itself.

These aren’t beta features that need bugs worked out of and are being tested on live roads with people who haven’t given any consent to being in a beta test program.

So don’t tell me Tesla isn’t putting the public at risk at the same levels any every other automaker. They aren’t.

The GEO line was a cross work with Japanese companies to make GM marginally engaged in that market, it failed.

The Saturn was an attempt at a "New Start" for GM post the 80s absolute debacle by GM and frankly every US automotive company. That the Buick Grand National is the penultimate vehicle of the US 80s with the GM 454 SS truck and arguably the Typhoon (both early 90s) being the only vehicles worth note in that entire era tells the story. Edit - Ford Escort RS should be added in here so should SVT Mustang.

Keep in mind VW was doing the GT, Nissan was doing the Z, Honda had the NSX and Civic S, Toyota was doing the Supra and MR2 during the same period. All of those are iconic in car world lore.

The US had a bad ass 3.6 liter turbo charged 2 door sedan and SUV and a rear wheel drive truck.

Same as it’s ever been. Some guy gets on his soapbox and speaks loudly and sounds like an authority and yokels listen to him. The only difference now is that the soapbox is Twitter or a podcast or whenever. And mix in some tough guy, toxic masculinity and all of these incels are ready to eat it up. Elon is just one of these guys, Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson. Just spewing garbage telling these losers it’s not your their fault they are losers, but society for deeming them losers through some really convoluted logic. And when called on it they are just “asking questions”.
