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.

Anti-theft Tips for Tesla Owners


Tesla cars can be stolen just like any other vehicle...its just a lot harder on the bad guys. There are few tips I'd like to offer to make it even harder on those criminals:

A. Lock your car. Duh? Many of us still don't, and we end up with pilfering and vehicle theft.
B. Lock your car. A second reminder, because if it isn't locked, many of us have the configuration making the side mirrors stick out in the open position and folded when locked. Open side mirrors invite bad guys' attention, signaling doors that are likely unlocked.
C. If somebody absconds with your prized Tesla, remember that you can track it using the app.
D. Use the frunk and trunk to hide obvious theft invitations...computers, camera, luggage
E. Leave  your Sentry setting on, and check the top right of your Tesla screen to see if any incidents have been recorded. Consider an app like SentryView. You will laugh yourself silly looking at web videos of idiots messing with Teslas...and being surprised to find themselves on the evening news.
BTW, you'll learn a lot by reviewing Tesla's training videos, found here.
