Why Are There Headlines about Tesla Accidents?

Why does the news pick up a Tesla accident? Because it is news. Because it is a rarity. An absence of rarity is same reason why we don't see news features about VW or Ford accidents, which are far more commonplace....far less a rarity. Far less newsworthy, though just as bad for the parties involved.

Tesla's are the safer automobile by any measure. And there's a super important point I want to make: Every Tesla makes another car on the road safe as well.
Because of Tesla's accident avoidance features, collisions are far less likely to happen and those that do occur, seem to be less severe. That's why I bought a Tesla Model 3 and why I recommend it to everyone, including prospective buyers who help me and use my referral code to order a new Tesla: Simply click https://ts.la/wes21573
Hey–more great news: even pedestrians are safer, too.
Tesla's many safety features keeping you safe inside also keep safe the car your Tesla didn't hit (regardless of fault) as well! Elon's goal for 500,000 new Tesla's for 2020 should mean that 500,000 Fords, VWs, Toyotas and the others will be safer as well. One million safer cars.
That's a great accomplishment.

Sadly, there still are some problems even the best technology can't correct.

Tesla choices: little ones and really big ones

Considering a new Tesla? You're going to face some questions that need resolution while you order. First, of course, is to use my referral code so we can each get 1000 free Tesla SuperCharger miles. Not much of an effort there, right? Obviously a brilliant choice.
The remaining questions fall into two groups: easy, and ones you should puzzle over a bit before deciding.
The easy ones are straightforward. Which model, what color, lease or purchase or finance, what tires, range, performance model or not? You can handle these with ease, even though the choices like color can be a couple thousand dollars.

Now the hard and most expensive question: Full self driving (FSD) Autopilot or not? 30 to 40% of Tesla's are purchased with FSD.
Every Tesla has some Autopilot features you'll enjoy, but Tesla's hoped-for fully automatic self-driving is a fairly expensive purchase that also means you're placing your trust in Elon actually delivering what he's promised...and he's behind, having said the end of 2019 would be the target.
There are two Tesla Autopilot packages. The first is "Level 2" and it is standard on all their cars. Tesla calls this "Autopilot." No extra charge. The second is Autopilot Fully Self Driving...Autopilot FSD. Level 2 is pretty cool, delivering driving aids not yet available elsewhere: a driver assistance system that enhances safety and convenience behind the wheel. Used properly, Autopilot reduces every driver's overall workload:. eight external cameras, a radar, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a powerful onboard computer provide an additional layer of safety to guide the car.
Autopilot FSD is a work-in-progress. Tesla has been releasing software upgrades piece--by-piece, giving clients many of the neat stuff now. Summon, Navigate on Autopilot, freeway onramp to freeway offramp automation, games on the car's screen, Internet access and more. Price for Autopilot FSD as of February 2020 is $7,000, a large percentage of the overall investment being made. Generally speaking, Tesla keeps this premium feature less expensive by a couple thousand at time of purchase versus afterwards.
My Recommended Buying Strategy:
I've seen Tesla make their best packages available at a quarter's end, as they try to meet production and sales goals. Sometimes Elon has tossed in unlimited free SuperCharger miles, sometime a free color upgrade. Sometimes Tesla has brought Autopilot FSD down thousand dollars or so. Otherwise, don't expect any price breaks regardless of your buying situation. No military discounts, etc.

Senior citizens & Tesla cars – a perfect fit

"Okay, Boomer!" If you're my age (73+) you might hear that now and then. It's more of a friendly tease than insult. Also, that's what I named my red Model 3. Let others use the boomer tease on me if they must...at least I can finally afford nice things like a Tesla!!
And my Tesla is a perfect fit as an automobile for a senior citizen like me. First and foremost, my Model is ideal for helping me pretend I'm still alive. But even more, my Tesla is designed to help keep me alive!
Tesla's safety features outnumber what is found on other cars' and include systems no other car offers. In my view, a Tesla is ideal for nearly everyone but particularly seniors and disabled drivers.
Here's what Tesla has to help keep me alive on my next drive along America's highways:

• A car rated "the safest car in the world"

• 8 cameras and 12 sensors to see dangers if I'm not looking

• A roof and door pillars so strong it can hold up three other Teslas

• Lane departure avoidance and Emergency lane departure avoidance  

• A team of cameras to help fight my peripheral vision loss

• Radar-governed traffic cruise control

• Autopilot to help me make better decisions, or make them for me! 

Please consider using my Tesla referral code to order your new car, and we both get a free thousand mile SuperCharger credit. If you order without a referral from me or another owner, you'll lose the credit (and so will I!)  Click and proceed to order (or see prices and features.)
