Elon specifically said that if a CT gets into an accident with another vehicle, the CT "wins". Which is such a fucking horrifying way to think about automotive safety. Same thing from people who bitch about how "your car gets totaled in even the lowest speed crash nowadays" when doing so is precisely what saves your life. Totalling a car and allowing you to walk away with only minor injuries or none at all, it is the point, but people like him have this idea that it's more manly to die in easily avoidable ways than it is to observe safety measures that we've known about for decades.
Exactly. Cars that didn't deform from damage were death traps. I think there was a Mass Men episode with this in it too.
