The problem is repairs, you are held hostage by Tesla, so even a fender bender turns into a write off, or months without the vehicle whereas a normal shop could fix it up in a day with regular parts.
I'm all for hating on Tesla for legitimate issues, but the driver of that car crashed into a concrete pillar doing in excess of 120MPH, which probably has a lot more to do with why they died than anything else. Fires and being trapped inside mangled wreckage can happen with any vehicle, especially at speeds like that.
I felt like making a sarcastic comment about "all that extra safety tech".
But 120mph is pretty fucking ridiculous.
Except, that's a head on collision on a 60mph road.
So, I'm not sure how to feel.
Still don't think I'd get in a Tesla just on principle, tho
