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.

    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.

    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.

    Felon Muskrat went full mask off way back in 2016 when he called child rescuers a Pedo. Go pound sand.

    That wasn't "mask off", that was him being publicly petulant. That was him not knowing how to react to someone telling him "no". It was the start of the cracks in his pubic veneer. Most rational people would say his reaction to that situation was ridiculous and childish, but I would bet there's a good amount of people who still aren't aware of what he said about the rescuers.

    His "mask off" moment was during the 2024 USA elections when he went full Nazi (openly).

    Granted, there were always indications for people who knew what to pay attention to, but that's not most people.

    I disapprove the Schadenfreude comments, but this is not merely a "vehicle most people don't like". It is a dangerous vehicle unnecessarily threatening health and even live of other members of the community, especially of children. There is a reason why it is not street legal in the EU.

    I agree the EU regulators made the right call, and this vehicle should not be on the public streets anywhere until it can meet basic safety standards, both for the drivers and for the public.

    anyone that bought a cybertruck did so knowing full well that it's a giant "fuck everybody but me" vehicle

    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.
