Reasons why Tesla is the safest vehicle ever manufactured

In truth, Teslas are among the safest cars ever produced.

Elon Musk also said this at the most recent shareholder meeting. Their vehicles have repeatedly shown to be extremely safe when put to the test.

OK, these are the numbers;

The Model Y passed the most recent and rigorous safety test administered by Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) with a score of roughly 92%, beating out the closest competitor's 82%.

When the model 3 was also subjected to a frontal offset test, it performed exceptionally well. During this test, which was also conducted by Euro NCAP, the lack of an engine in the front region of the car let the vehicle's crumple zone absorb all the impact during a collision, leaving the occupants unharmed.

When further tests like those for the vehicle's roof strength, head restraints, and autonomous driving assistance systems were conducted, the model 3 once again got top overall scores.

In a rollover test, the Model X stunned many engineers since it did not tip over despite repeated attempts to make a much taller car with a greater center of gravity do so.
The heavy battery system on the floor of the vehicle is a major contributing factor to this.
I've seen in the news a Tesla fall off a California cliff of about 250 feet, where all 4 occupants walked out of the vehicle with little injury; this would have been fatal if it was any other vehicle, for sure.

How the impromptu interview between Elon Musk and the BBC backfired

The whole thing was exciting to watch! I loved every bit of it. The BBC journalist came to the interview prepared to corner Elon Musk, but he was rather the one cornered and was finding it so hard to even breathe at a certain point during the interview. While finding it very challenging to single out just one instance of such misinformation or hate speech on the social media platform, the BBC journalist accused Elon of allowing it to be spread on Twitter. It was incredibly entertaining to see him try to come up with an explanation. Is it the BBC that decides what misinformation is? Because the BBC has occasionally published false information, Elon Musk questioned. Elon is a BEAST!

Why the new Tesla FSD Beta is a game changer

Although I haven't personally used that yet, I have watched some YouTube videos about the Beta and must admit that I am very impressed with how much Tesla has improved the feature. Initially, when using the Full Self Driving mode, the driver had to step in at some point to take over the driving if the car was having trouble doing it on its own.  However, with better advancements, the car now typically doesn't need the driver's assistance in situations like these. I adore how, where there are no road markers, the FSD delineates the lanes on itself. For this new Beta, I believe it will be challenging for any other vehicle manufacturer to catch up to Elon Musk and his team at Tesla because they are really doing incredible work with their FSD.

Elon Musk now hates AI; Here's why

"Big AI experiments should be put on hold"-Elon Musk and other IT industry heavyweights. In an open letter, they claimed that AI would present a significant risk to society and that it should be carefully prepared for and managed.  Regrettably, it does not appear that this degree of preparation and management is taking place. In the current state, AI is growing ever more intelligent than humans and could one day start teaching itself new things and go rogue.  If effective management is not put in place at the rate at which new AI technologies are being released, we may be headed for disaster. Elon Musk also said in an interview that if the authorities did not take any action as they are sounding the warning now, someone might seriously get hurt or die as a result. Mr. Musk does have a history with the AI industry as he was one of the founding members of the much talked about ChatGPT, which is an interactive chatbox where questions can be posed to it, and it answers in a conve...
