Call us short-sighted, but this is all we have any interest in knowing about Elon Musk.
Yes, a point many Tesla haters ignore is just how safe the Tesla is. While it is not significantly "stronger" in a collision, it goes the other route of avoid collisions people could not avoid. It can react in milliseconds to those situations while people take a second or as we get older seconds. And the cars sensors and computers never get distracted by phone calls, conversations, or anything else.
