We seem to have a massive number of new model 3s on the road around here. There are both federal and state incentives that make them as cheap as a Prius. It seems like they are all on autopilot. They are incredibly poorly driven.

She was the driver.

She was in control of the vehicle.

Not that I want this, but I’d rather have a vehicle that can tell when I’m driving badly to force me to pull over until I can drive well than have a vehicle that drives itself for me.

Give Teslas wide berth now that we know the idiot owners are not driving them.

The good news is, the Tesla didn’t do a Bolt.

Maybe Elon sits at a computer screen, brings up his cars, and crashes them for kicks.

Oh look, more “OMG Tesla!” clickbait.
Yes, accidents happen. Autopilot isn’t perfect.
Now, how many accidents have been avoided by Autopilot?

I wonder how her insurance is gong to look at that. Are they going to refuse to pay because she failed to control the vehicle? I wonder what their legal options are in that state.

Be sure to disengage ‘Attack Mode’ prior to engaging ‘Autopilot Mode’

TESLA: the car with attitude!

No way to tell for certain. We will never know.
