Hold up.
You stated that Musk's bastardization of the greatest electrical engineering to ever live's legacy is untrustworthy.
You then stated that the driver could have made a mistake.
You then reason that both things voild he true at the same time.
Your conclusion is that we shouldn't talk about this specific incident of the unreliable narrator, because we just don't know.
Why?
Is it because we don't have this conversation when other automakers have issues?
The reason we don't is because the other automakers DO have the man stakes but they generally aren't unreliable narrators.
Why? Because at some point the people said, "hey, no it's pretty fucked up what these companies are doing. We should demand more transparency and laws to hold these companies accountable."
It worked so well that legacy companies like Honda recall their products when they're defective, 100k cars recalled this month.
Consumers don't consistently question these companies because they generally do what's expected of them.
Don't let a shady Nazi run company off the hook because other companies hold themselves to higher standards.
