A Tesla marketing lie caused people to die. As the video pointed out the real reason they got rid of the extra sensors was to save money at the cost of safety. This is all about greed.
At this point Tesla should be disbanded as an example of what happens when companies disregard safety.
I think it also highlights the absurdity that the stock market has become and how it directly contributes to a culture that allows for human suffering as long as record profits are believed to be around the corner.
I don't even understand what record profits they're expecting at this point. Their sales numbers are dropping, they're facing stiffer competition, the carbon credits and ev tax credits which benefited tesla so much are going away, and more of their newer offerings like the cybertruck and the taxi service have been absolute disasters. Somehow the company still enjoys about a $1 trillion market cap.
It is irrational for sure. The stock should have tanked a long time ago based on performance and future prospects, but it is still high as ever.
You know what really pisses me off? Some of the newer models have radar built in again (no ultrasound though). Tesla just doesn't use it.
