Different times, different causes, and different ratios of incidents to total cars. I hate Musk, think any potential for Teslas has declined heavily in quality, and lots of mistakes have been made in its development. But this kind of comparison is a definite apples and oranges. Plus grouping every incident under “blows up” and the cause of death is a bit much. How many of those were due to drivers? How many Teslas that did have some fire warned their driver to pull over and save them, vs. a Pinto that…would just catch fire and couldn’t possibly do that.

I mean be fair if you’re going to be critical. There is plenty to be critical about, especially with the disaster known as the Cybertruck. Plus the last part…if no one is hearing about it, then why is it a damn meme at this point, and unjustified because while Tesla fires are a nasty thing to put out, there are still far more ICE fires, and THEY only get a side note in the local news, if that.

Apples and Oranges. One car killed people, the other killed other people in other ways. Totally different.

A meme is only as good as what goes into it. And yes, I’ll defend the facts over a silly meme that bends them to make it work.

Did I go overboard for just a meme, yeah, probably. I stand by what I said though, from a point of view of reality.

The fact is that cars should have gotten safer but not all have and you’re here trying to say on some technicality that it’s ok. But you don’t even have facts to back that up
