    If I had a billion dollars I would simply never drive myself, and I would not ride in a Tesla. It’s the same car that techbros drive and has a subpar safety record.

    A lot of celebrities used to drive Priuses as the eco-friendly choice back when it was new, and I didn’t read anything about them dying in crashes. But Priuses don’t have the acceleration of a drag racer or quality control problems.

      The 2nd gen prius actually suffered from toyotas ethrottle problems where theyd get stuck at full throttle. As far as i remember, it only ever officially killed the occupants of one car, but toyota did a great job of sweeping that under the rug.
