I remember when Michael Brown was shot and so many defended the officer saying he resisted. Going by this video, resisting means absolutely nothing to these officers.

Nothing is stopping them for lying (police hits guy w/ car). Any idiot who still takes that officers sides just needs to eff off

That's exactly what I said though. While the idea/blueprint/engineering of the car is alright, the actual quality of work/building going into them suffers immensely. Doesn't matter if I plan or engineer a bridge that can support multiple Godzillas at once, if it's not built right it won't meet specifications/requirements.

It's not even that, Musk's and Tesla's obsession to push shipping goals to post stock pumping quarterly numbers doesn't happen by wishful thoughts. It happens by pressuring workers in the factories to "go faster". While ignoring that means "start cutting corners".

Hey, it lets the executives have plausible deniability if there's a lawsuit over it.

Basically, you want to reject your Tesla delivery if it was made the last 2 weeks of a quarter.

I remember turning on the news to see a similar article about a military training accident. My ex husband was in the location of the accident and I had known he was training the night prior when the accident happened. I waited for hours crying my eyes out to hear word. He ended up being fine, physically but was traumatized forever after the incident.

It still baffles me that I found out he might be dead from an article like this. We have been divorced for almost 10 years now and I still think about it whenever I see these news stories.
