Now that we know the driver did it intentionally and the safety of the car kept them alive, it's interesting that the brand of car isn't making it into headlines anymore.

Oh, it is. Just yesterday, there was an article about a brand new one that had the steering wheel fall off.

I hate Elon and shitty Tesla quality as much as the next person on Reddit, but it's "odd" to me that there was a couple headlines like "Driver in Tesla Road Rage Incident Arrested" and "Tesla Spontaneously Combusted used 6k gallons of water to put fire out" but not one about "Tesla Driver who drove family off cliff is charged with attempted murder"

Yeah I bet big oil can’t believe that Reddit is happily spreading its propaganda

No it's not. Half the articles after the initial one didn't say Tesla anymore, we all knew which story they meant when they talked about the man who drove his family over a cliff in cali and they all survived. Find a hobby, dude.

We're busy hating Elon and while safe, Teslas have poor QC and fit & finish.
