I don’t think it is irrelevant though. in a car that can and does control your throttle without your input, and is famously poorly built with tons of software issues, built by a company whose head is a famous conman, you can’t assume that this is driver error, even if it is a semi-common driver error.
You stated that Musk’s bastardization of the greatest electrical engineering to ever live’s legacy is untrustworthy.
You then stated that the driver could have made a mistake.
You then reason that both things voild he true at the same time.
Your conclusion is that we shouldn’t talk about this specific incident of the unreliable narrator, because we just don’t know.
Why?
Is it because we don’t have this conversation when other automakers have issues?
The reason we don’t is because the other automakers DO have the man stakes but they generally aren’t unreliable narrators.
Why? Because at some point the people said, “hey, no it’s pretty fucked up what these companies are doing. We should demand more transparency and laws to hold these companies accountable.”
It worked so well that legacy companies like Honda recall their products when they’re defective, 100k cars recalled this month.
Consumers don’t consistently question these companies because they generally do what’s expected of them.
Don’t let a shady Nazi run company off the hook because other companies hold themselves to higher standards.
What I mean is that these types of accident happen all the time in all kinds of vehicles.
That this particular driver was in a

I can believe that Tesla is lying.
I can also believe that the driver just stomped the wrong pedal.
I can even believe then at the same time.
There is enough wrong with Tesla and its owner to talk about without speculation.
Hold up.

I think what we’re asking is for you to reserve judgement before more data comes out. It took 7 years to sort out the auto-pilot/driver control case.
Reasonable, kindly do the same.
Exactly what side did I take in that post?
Sorry, that wasn’t directed at your personally but at the dog pile.
Don’t forgot how they like about this very thing in the past and got scooped.
