Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
I used to be in awe of Teslas and I have always been a big fan of Musk, and even after the crash I still imagined myself one day buying a Tesla. But after this response, I&#x27;ve completely lost respect for the company, for Musk, and I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ll ever buy one or advocate for someone buying one.<p>The driver had previously reported to Tesla <i>7 to 10 times</i> that there was an issue with autopilot, but Tesla told him &quot;no there is no issue&quot;. There is also video evidence of this same issue happening in other parts of the world, but with similar road conditions. But again, Tesla&#x27;s response has been &quot;there is no issue.&quot;<p>And now their response is &quot;the driver knew there was an issue but he used autopilot anyway&quot;? Seriously? Either there is an issue or there isn&#x27;t, Tesla. At first you said there is no issue, and now you&#x27;re saying there <i>is</i> an issue? And as the cherry on top, you&#x27;re blaming the driver for continuing to use the feature <i>even after you told him repeatedly that it&#x27;s okay to use</i>?<p>For shame, Tesla. For shame.
