Wow, good thing the owner didn't fire a load of people in the government department who could prevent this.

He fired them because he knew his system sucked, and would never be roadworthy, and that was the department that would stop him. So he fired them, and here we are.
I'm actually looking forward to a lot of good crashes, that they'll explain away as Sleepy Joe's fault, or it's not that bad that a school bus full of children blew up on a fire crash with a Tesla, it happens all the time, or perhaps they'll just deny it, and MAGA will cover it up. Let them kill a whole bunch of American citizens, and then be all dismissive of any criticism.
This is the year to let MAGA fully flower, and do their worst. The Dems should just stay out of the way, and do nothing to stop them from themselves, and work the media to point out every disaster. I can't wait for the Midterms.
He fired them because he was under 17 active NTHSA investigations.
Whatever, poeple who buy Teslas or get into a Tesla cab or buy TSLA deserve everything coming to them.
Sounds like Obstruction of Justice, and a Cover-up. He didn't have the legal authority to do that, just because another Sociopathic Oligarch told him it was okay. He needs to serve a few decades in prison.
You still believe in rule of law? Santa Claus is coming!
Yep, I do. We aren't going to let MAGA take that away.
