Indeed their cars are safe, but they don't have a compelling EV (I'll never drive an ICE car again), certainly not comparable in terms of software and charging network.

And their cars can't get safer via software updates as Teslas can and do. Since I've had mine in less than two years, software updates have improved seat belt tensioning and air bag deployment. All based off of crash data from the fleet.

When did I continue to attack them? All I did was provide support for my initial assertions...

If anything, you're being far more aggressive than I was when I called him a "fanboy". In fact, you've completely departed from the initial discussion and brought nothing to the table about the original points made. Maybe you should take a long look in the mirror before you just start calling random people who don't like your favorite car company assholes.

Without that, this isn't much of a story. Just another headline for ad clicks that isn't 'news' at all.

So serious question. How many murders would you be willing to release to spare one innocent person.

Let's say there are 300,000 people in prison for murder right now. Statistically at least one is innocent. Probably much more than one.

Should we release all 300,000 people convicted of murder in order to ensure that the innocent are let free?

Ironically their Shanghai-built cars have been lauded for far superior fit and finish compared to the US built cars. Probably helps that the Chinese EV market is a lot more competitive especially when it comes to the availability and reliability of non-Supercharger DC networks, which means Tesla doesn't have the same competitive advantage to coast on like they do in North America.

Lol name calling? I guess I've found another person who loves Tesla.

Also, there's a difference between "everyone has recalls" (which is true and expected) and "everyone is at the same level of build quality as Tesla" (which is not true).

Tesla is consistently rated near the bottom of all major automotive manufacturers for build quality. For what it's worth, there are several other brands I probably wouldn't ever consider buying either due to the same reliability/consistency issues (like Ford).
