    You realize you are just trying to convince yourself you have a safe car, right? I know you need a big ego to want a tesla in the first place, but its okay to say you learned new information and want to change your mind.

      I feel pretty safe in it. Ego has nothing to do with it. When I bought it a number of years ago, it seemed like a good way to be better for the environment, help propel innovation and have something fun and different. I certainly will never buy a Tesla again because of Elon, but I think the car’s pretty good. I feel much safer in it than in our Mazda 2 that would be squished like an empty pop can in a collision between two SUV’s.

        Well yes. And I know trying to explain these facts in a room of Tesla haters isn’t going to get anywhere. I certainly wouldn’t buy another Tesla because of Elon, but I really think the car itself is quite well made.
