It's marketing speak and isn't supported by anything in the IIHS's actual public announcement on their most recent vehicle safety ratings. Tesla has received flak in the past for misstating the results of IIHS and NHTSA testing.
The whole Mars thing + no 30k electric car after all these years have me immune.
Tesla and musk are simply not trustworthy.
And as far as I'm aware they never promised a 30k car? They promised a 35k car, which you can buy today (you just have to email them or go in person and ask for it, it's not available online)
From this year. There will be no 35k Tesla.
Anyone who got one was merely lucky.
I'm not always a huge Musk fan, but I don't understand this kind of criticism at all. Going to mars is something the human race hasn't done before, it's no surprise it is taking longer than expected.
