Tesla is a Hot Garbage Death Trap! Elon Musk Kills Another.
Now the third car to burst into flames....Elon Musk should face very stiff regulation going forward. This car is not ready for the road and Tesla is not ready for the big time. You can’t kill three people, have several wrecks and hang up on board members and bankers when your asked the hard questions. Musk is doing a lot of things right now but in my opinion he’s not doing anything outstanding or at the forefront of any industry. He’s got a lot of money to keep trying but, it looks to me that more of his money needs to be spent on reaserch and development than just providing the market with the end product. Right now.....I would not drive a Tesla at all with what has happened in such a short period. Being trapped in a burning car unable to escape might be one of the worst ways in the world to die.
It is very sad to see people losing their lives over something like this. I agree there needs to be better regulation and stiffer consequences for what’s happpening. I think musk means well but you’re correct, he’s going a little too much too fast
you gave yourself a vote; you cheating bastard
or ... people who are stupid enough to buy those cars are responsible for their own actions and you need to stop supporting violent oppression
no, we don't need more regulations, take responsibility for your own actions and leave me alone or I will do what needs to be done to protect myself from your mental delusions
what? regulations are enforced under the threat of violence = you want other people to be violently oppressed to avoid being responsible for your own actions; you're a horrible human being
How are you going to prosecute the AI that runs the car? Or are you going to sue the developers behind it? Then no one will ever want to work on it.
Musk reminds me of Steve Jobs first time around with Apple.
-Burns cash to the point they will need to get more private investors cash by end of the year (having burned through 1 billion through Q1...with only 2.91 billion in cash left in reserve...it wont last. Hence stockholders will lose value....yet again)
-Musk cant take criticism,blows off stock analysts ("boring,dry questions) for a YT interview
Seriously?
-when doubts are brought up regarding Teslas ill fated Solar City purchase or safety issues Teslas have had recently
see the first comment
-Tesla vehicles though very aesthetic ,have had quite a few issues with just owning one (Limited ways to get one repaired,limited amount of chargers...numerous issues which is expected with a small car company. But not for that price) I thought the idea was to get an electric car out to the masses....not make it a celebrity item.
Get a preowned BMW i3 or Chevy Volt for less than 20k. You wont find a Tesla under 30k.
-Space X i believe might save Musk in the end if he gets those juicy government contracts.
-Solar City looks like a looming failure because anyone owning a home will tell you....they aren't not spending 40-65k for a solar roof (besides the issues solar roofs have in bad weather)
Great post @broncnutz
What really is stunning that a company like Tesla can burn so much money without even making a profit. A 'normal' commercial business wouldn't last for a week. Isn't that strange..? It's all about the money Elon is pumping into it without giving back to it's investors... Strange business model... And the fact is, cause he is taking such a long time to deliver proper reliable cars, he is caught up by other carbrands who (in my opinion) eventually will win the electric car battle cause they deliver in time with more reliable and safer cars...
Tesla, for me, is a toy which spends to much money....
Have a great day !!
and where does a large chunk of that money come from? the state!
so, who's not going to do what they're supposed to do? the state!
Early adoption in certain technologies can be dangerous i.e. medical devices, automobiles, airplanes... although you're right its not early anymore for Tesla!
Tesla does not inspire confidence
I am guilty I was seriously considering a Tesla. I like the idea of a car that can be charged. Its sad about the deaths so far but can you really blame the technology. Dodge or Town and Country with its sensor problems have probably caused more accidents. Every car maker has had many recalls and the American Car makers more than others. I do not see Tesla any different in that direction. Some regular cars with computer systems have been hacked without the information getting to main stream media.
Check this out, its a list of recalls. The brands on the list lets you know its a huge problem.

I will still buy a Tesla its still number 1. on my list, unless some great hybrid or electric car comes on the market.
Now another person dead.....STILL gonna buy? 4-5 dead in just a few weeks.
Maybe not, there may be other hybrid cars that meet my requirement.
The way Elon's been treating his investors and track record on the cars, I'll pass.
I think it would be better for Steemit and your channel to post your videos here at first and after 4-5 hours to DTube, so they'll get more attendance here..
I think Elon Musk is in a hurry and hurry never works.
Honestly, I would say Tesla only appeals to the Elon fanatics who would stop at absolutely nothing to get a Tesla car. The recent announcement of a restructuring is a good news to essentially cut the fat from the meat and bones. Tesla might have to raise more capital in the next 1 or 2 years if it doesn't manage its cash flow correctly. I would say it's an extremely tricky situation and pumping money into R&D will not solve all problems. If there's no end product, then there's no revenue. Likewise, if car safety problem is not rectified, then pretty much nobody is going to buy the car. Coupled with talents leaving the organization, Elon has a lot going on.
