    These horrific deaths and injuries are tragic. I see too many schadenfreude comments here approving of people dying just because they chose to drive a vehicle most people don’t like. If there is blame, it is not on the victims, but on Tesla and the regulators we trust to ensure minimum and obvious safety features.

      Anybody that bought a cyber truck did so knowing full well Elon is a Nazi. They made their bed and now they can lie in it. No compassion at all for these selfish fucks.

        The cybertruck was available to buy before he went full mask off. And not everyone is “in-touch” with everything.

        No compassion at all

        Disgusting.

            Even further back than that, as a kid he got thrown down the stairs because he made fun of the dead father of another kid (who threw him down the stairs)

      Perhaps if we were just talking Teslas in general, but the cybertruck? I can’t imagine any non-assholes buying and driving those. That thing is a statement, a fascist “own-the-libs” statement in particular.

      I have no sympathy for them. their victims, yes. the owner, not at all.

        That’s how many people see it, but I know a few people that are entirely disconnected from “celeb culture” and the news in general, and just think the cybertruck is neat technology. And to be fair, putting aside the massive safety issues with it, it does have noteworthy technology that on their own are interesting.

        And I think the cross section of people who are interested in the cybertruck, people who are not particularly intelligent, and who also have money are generally going to be the customer base. It’s fine to criticize, but to say “no sympathy” when they die is gross.

          sorry I should have added the alternative option of “is ignorant of the fact and should be expected to be able to figure that out”

          if somebody won’t think of how their actions affect others, fuck them.
