Musk is very much like Trump. Lawsuits ... Bring 'em on. I have more layers than you can ever fight.

====================

The same suits happen with other manufacturers from time-to-time, it is pretty routine, and there is simply no evidence of a chronic problem here.

I know. You want it to true so badly. But reality is that the frequency of occurrence of deaths in Teslas is not high, and even the ones that do happen (like the one you cited) turn out not to be the fault of Tesla.
