There's been a lot of Tesla's on here lately

[u/Mr_Blah1 → u/MathiasTheHuman]

Tesla is the new BMW. Rich people buy them and think traffic laws are for peons. Poor people buy old and broken down ones because that's all they can afford and/or find.

[u/MayaIsSunshine → u/MathiasTheHuman]

They're cheap to buy now with EV depreciation, they're the new altima

[u/dustojnikhummer → u/MayaIsSunshine]

Aren't they still ridiculously expensive to insure?

[u/GuitarLute → u/MathiasTheHuman]

YES! First three videos I saw today were teslas.

[u/ExcitingUse9715]

Is Tesla going to be the new Nissan? What's their finance rate?

[u/vrhotlaps]

Tesla Wanker!

[u/squanchy_Toss]

Do you actually expect a drivers to look away from their phone and pay attention to the road? Tesla also has the highest rate of accident fatalities of any car brand. 👍

[u/Cleverfawn123 → u/squanchy_Toss]

When I got rear ended in my previous Tesla took it like a champ. Posted in here before dude rear ended me and flipped his car. Pretty wild stuff.

Tesla also has the highest rate of accident fatalities of any car brand

Isn't that because there's less of them so any accident will bring the average up a lot more?

[u/meatbag2010]

Probably using good old full self driving

[u/Cleverfawn123 → u/meatbag2010]

Perhaps. I don’t know I’ve used it coming down same road and always stops. Just like my other accident I was 2 minutes from my destination when this happened. People just crazy and if they are using full self drive still gotta pay attention but I guess everyone doesn’t.

[u/Arastyxe]

Average Tesla driver tbh

[u/TeamMCW]

Probably engaged Full Self Dying

[u/MeatJerk69]

I hope the driver remembered to flip you off.

[u/Anaeta]

Okay, let's be real. That was an absolutely dogshit turn, and no one who drives like that should have a license, but they were still nowhere near actually hitting the pole. That is absolutely not the problem here.

[u/Cleverfawn123 → u/Anaeta]

I didn’t lay on the horn they were most likely going to hit that pole.

[u/rodolphoteardrop]

He didn't come close to the pole. Stop the hyperbole.

[u/lycnfr → u/rodolphoteardrop]

Did we watch the same video? they sure as hell did

[u/rodolphoteardrop → u/lycnfr]

That was 3-5feet, at least.

You're one of the people that posts the laundromat video where the dryer explodes 7-9secs after the guys leaves and captions it "Man narrowly escapes death," aren't you.

[u/lycnfr → u/rodolphoteardrop]

Lots of assumptions being made today huh! ☺️

[u/Kvothetheraven603 → u/rodolphoteardrop]

Wait, is 7 seconds not consider “narrowly missing” when we are talking about dying?

[u/errantindividual]

ALMOST DRIVES INTO TELEPHONE POLE😒
