Baloney.

Tesla safety, outside of FSD crashing into cars, is fine. The car is fine in accidents. In fact, it's better than fine. it's excellent, and crash tests prove it.

Battery chemistry is improving.

Thermal runaways aren't any different than any other BEV. Last I checked, Tesla wasn't recalling all their cars for thermal runaways when left unattended. Ahem Chevy / LG.
