    Random car fires are just that random and isolated. Full self driving Tesla failures are pretty common and being underreported. One is a lack of maintenance or a truly isolated defect or failure. The other is failure by Design.

      But

      Authorities have not said whether any driver-assistance technology was engaged at the time of Monday’s crash.

      So this is not about (under)reporting of FSD failures. This is about reporting any bad news about Tesla, which is fucking boring.

        First word of your quote largely discredits it. Authorities. There have been a great number of rolling Tesla death traps that have killed passengers and pedestrians. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s Tesla or not. The authorities have covered up for Ford Chrysler etc etc etc as well in the past.

            Everyone does. In fact the only way someone wouldn’t have evidence of this. Would largely be if they were either trying very hard to stay uninformed. Or are just so extremely insulated that that they somehow missed it.

                That’s on you. The Ford Pinto didn’t Crash and Burn as much as Tesla’s have. And people like yourself are blissfully unaware of the fact. Whereas the Ford Pinto went on to be a joke and major black mark on Ford’s reputation for decades. Besides all the other black marks that Henry Ford had earned

                  How can it be in me when I didn’t allege anything? This is pathetic.

                  Don’t waste people’s time with baseless conspiracy theories.
