    With all the problems that make headline news, it is easily the one manufacturer that gets the most negative publicity. They sound like death traps and I would not go near them on purpose.

      Have you considered that it might just be trendy to dunk on Tesla? These issues are in no way unique to their vehicles, and the over-representation in the news skews our perception of how dangerous they actually are.

      There are 40k traffic fatalities in the U.S. alone every year. That’s 110 per day. Nobody gives a shit when Kia Ceed plows into pedestrians but when it’s a Tesla it’s instant clicks.

      You think they will spontaneously combust if you park next to one?

      Make sure to not park next to a Chevy Volt instead.
