Ridiculous Bloomberg article: some people would die waiting for Model 3

Yeah. I think the horse was his car too.

I want that option. You could turn it into a horse, let it graze all day to fill up - the ultimate renewable, green energy source, except for the horse farts ....

When I was reading about the Autopilot death, I realized if you are going to build cars, some of your customers are going to die. The sign of character is the car company doing something about it, instead of ignoring the problem. We all know, Tesla deserves credit, they are doing something about it.

Here is the exact opposite. A lady who got her first and last ride in Model X before her death. A most fitting adventure for a very difficult situation. To the person who brought their Model X to the event, I salute you. May Betsy rest in peace.

One Statistic Shows Why Everyone Needs To Relax About The Recent Tesla Fires
This article was written after all the attention was paid to the three Tesla vehicles that had caught fire.

So, a better question would have been, "I wonder how many Tesla reservation holders will have their ICE cars catch on fire while waiting on their Model 3 to be delivered?"

So, a better question would have been, "I wonder how many Tesla reservation holders will have their ICE cars catch on fire while waiting on their Model 3 to be delivered?"

150k Fires in cars in US per year / 200M cars in US * 400k reservation holders * 1.5 years = 450 fires
209 Fatal fires in cars in US per year / 200M cars in US * 400k reservation holders * 1.5 years = 0.63 deaths

Thank you kindly.
