If you want best in class safety tech and no dealer markups, you can just order a Tesla online

View on HN

I’m not an Elon hater but Tesla is the worst offender on Mozillas privacy study.

The report specifically says Tesla is not the worst btw

Surprising, since Mozilla's article(https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/article...) does place them dead last, right behind Nissan. Granted, it'll be hard not to buy a car on that list!

Yeah, that's interesting and it seems the report contradicts itself. They are indeed last on the list referenced, but when diving into their details for Tesla it says "So, how is Tesla at privacy? Well, they aren't the worst car company we reviewed"

“Best in class” safety tech…

No, Teslas have a specific safety rating.

In the Luxury Sedan segment with the same safety rating are 13 other vehicles.

In the Luxury SUV segment there are 19.

“In a high safety class” is accurate, but there’s nothing in those ratings to say the Tesla is the safest of them.

Not to mention the occasional automated drive into stationary objects. Guess that's partly why they have the "best in class safety tech".

You don’t have to enable self driving.

As much as they charge for it, I would want to use it if I had a Tesla. But since I have severe trust issues with Tesla, I would never* buy an electric car from them anyway. * at least for the next 5 years, probably longer. I'm just glad I live far away from the places self-driving cars are common, for now.
