Tesla has added another brazenly stupid new entry to its dubious safety record.

    there are use cases where cars need to have more power (driving uphill for example).

    More power does not equal more speed.

    Tractors are way more powerful than most cars, but are also super slow. Cars can be made powerful but not fast.

    Many drivers enjoy going on a day race track where they can go as fast as they want. My car (not a Tesla) even has a special warranty that allows me to disable certain road safety features when I’m on a race track.

    If I pay for a 200mph car, why should I not be able to safely enjoy it? I’m a responsible adult.

    If an idiot decides to drive 200mph on a public road it’s their mistake to own up to.

    It’s like saying guns kill, not people.

        Not at all.

        The same way I can disable road safety features on my car when I am on a racetrack, they can use their stupid autopilot on a racetrack.

        Btw fuck Tesla. But it’s the people using Teslas that are fucking idiots.
