Why is it Lemmy is okay with Outrage culture when it targets Tesla/SpaceX/Apple, yet criticized else where?
So reading these comments most people don't understand that many cars have electronic doors for several valid design reasons and yet all I have seen have manual overrides. Tesla as many other cars without window trims have to lower the glass before you can open the door. Most if not all cars even German makes do this electronicly but like my Tesla, have a manual handle that mechanicly drops the glass windows panel so you can open normally.
Both my Tesla and friends VW Benzin(Gas) car som 15 years ago use the same system... If the car have no trim and electronic windows, you also have this design issue, which extends this to ALL car brands.
But yea let's throw reason out the window and yell "Tesla bad!!!"...
How if it is true some models don't have the manual override (and that might include none Tesla cars if there indeed is no regulation that mandates it) I feel bad for the people not knowing or the safety ratings ignoring this oversight.
I can just say, mine does and is mentioned in the safety rating used in EU.
If there was a burning car and I had to open your Tesla's door from the outside to save you, you're dead because I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use the handle, regardless of whether the thing was still powered or not.
Try breaking a window man, do your due diligence and save a life. Don’t just give up at the slight obstacle.
If the occupant is unconscious, dragging one out of the window can make things significantly worse if there are injuries from a crash. The door handle should always be available. Even if the door won't open on one side because of an impact there, use the other side. There are much better alternatives than dragging someone over shattered glass out of a window.
It's safety glass. More like pebbles than sharp shards. Please drag me over shattered automotive glass if I'm otherwise burning alive in a car.
Life over limbs. If the vehicle is on fire and I’m unconscious, fucking drag me out by any means necessary.
Not risking my life EXTRA for someone still choosing to drive a Tesla after all of this, I'll keep on keepin' on and leave that to the professionals
Not saving a life because of their choice of vehicle… that’s really sad.
Imagine seeing a car on fire and actually saying to yourself “ hell nah, screw that guy, he chose to drive a Tesla, he deserve to burn alive”.
Great way of thinking man. I hope I don’t live anywhere near you.
Strawman: destroyed
Try:
Notice how in yours it's some sort of bigotry towards the car, while I specifically pointed out that Tesla's are objectively less safe to interact with and that was the reason, with 0 sympathy being offered because they chose to drive a badly designed car
you could learn how to open a Tesla door so that if you ever come across a Tesla that’s on fire, you could save a life. There are plenty of youtube videos, less than 10 seconds of your time.
You could make a difference in someone’s life.
Lol, fuck learning how to open someone else's car for an extremely niche situation, they can burn, I do not care about their poor choices
Great mentatlity man.
I feel sorry for people around you.
Unlike you, I’d do anything to save someone’s life, even if I have to hurt myself.
Unlike you, I don’t care what you drive, if you’re trapped, I’ll do my damn best to get you out.
Good luck with your life man, you sound hurt. I hope you get some help.
Take care
