Are they though?
-- Possibly the least offensive thing in this article: https://www.thenation.com/article/society/tesla-racism-sexual-harassment/
Does that sound like a vehicle that is "perfectly safe" to you? A vehicle built by people who have to learn on the job?
Jesus dude, nobody is talking about the factory and what you linked has zero effect on the vehicle safety. This is some desperate whatsboutism lolol.
The factory where they build the cars. Yes. Where they build them without being trained. And that has zero effect on safety? How can you claim that?
And yes, the rest of the article is not relevant, which is why I quoted the relevant part.
Also, I'm not sure you understand what 'whataboutism' is if you think it's "showing evidence for your claim."
I hate Tesla as much or more than the haters because musk is fucking pile of shit, but their cars are better than most of the shit put out by american vehicle manufacturers. They're still some of the safest vehicles you can buy. I hate misinformation more than I hate Tesla.
