MODERATORS
You hear about them because every fatal crash is reported, every fire is reported. You don't hear about the same things for other brands. A kid killed himself near my place driving his father's V8 car, it didn't even make the local news because teenage boys killing themselves in cars by driving recklessly is hardly rare.
I'm aware. Teslas are probably safer than the average old car you have on the roads. But you hear about them a lot more.
