If we listed the number of autos that crashed because they were using cruise control, it would take 10 pages to list them all. This is insignificant.

That is exactly what I said. But because it's a Tesla car it has to make the news.
That one was different because it was a police car, and the one before was an emergency vehicle, a fire truck. The Tesla data revealed that it was accelerating just before impact.

In other recent news the model 3 has improved its breaking distance by twenty feet; according to the latest testing...said Elon Musk. The goal is to satisfy Consumer Report and have a clean recommendation...for safety.

* If our car's cruise control was a major issue for car accidents we would know, read about it, and all that jazz. I don't think it's an issue, not as the one we just saw with Tesla. It is a separate accident and it is fortunate that no one died. ...Same as the one that crashed in that fire truck, no one died.

I just examined my first Model 3. Nice car, but the Frunk was out of alignment. I thought they had mastered the fit and finish...

Went back to the destination charger today that the Model3 was using yesterday. He broke off the charger cable connector head inside his car. Idiot did not know how to detach it. Now the whole cable assembly needs replacement at the charger. I don't know how he will charge his car now with that piece locked inside. Maybe he got stranded.

There are at least 3 ways to unlock the charger cable, the cable has a button, the car console can unlock it and I believe your cellphone can unlock it.

Frunks are the hardest to get right.

I have nothing against Elon Musk; he does what he has to do.
He's got an arsenal of projects going on; he's young and rich.
He has supporters, and enemies.
His car company has the best of the best name in the electric car business...Tesla.
