    IDK, even since Fight Club we know that cars have defects that kill people and the car companies send Edward Norton to check if it’s cheaper to pay to the victims or go to court. This is nothing new. I wouldn’t get to worked up about it until I’ve seen some statistics saying that for example Tesla drivers get into more accidents than other drivers or something. O, wait…

      So it’s OK because other companies have been shitty, besides Tyler Durden warned us?

      But I give you credit, this is the first time I’ve seen Fight Club unironically used as a source outside the Incel community.

        No, it’s not OK but we have seen better reporting on how shitty Tesla is than this article. I don’t think it really proves anything.

      This isn’t true because of what was said by a character in a movie. Planned obsolescence is a thing the big 3 pioneered.
