People will do anything to prove a point. When it comes to defending their favorite auto maker's honor, theTeslafans are no exception.
A video of a side-by-side test of the safety systems of two cars went viral yesterday, and was uploaded by a user on the social networking site.
TheTesla completely blew it. The fake child was bulldozed through by it. The Lexus was equipped with a technology that Musk has refused to use for self- driving.
The video's caption says "Teslas still aren't stopping for children"
The unflattering portrayal didn't sit well with the fans of the electric car maker.
One user said that the car should do what he tells it to do no matter what. If there are 100 children in front of the car, it shouldn't matter.
The user was not the only one who wanted to put the lives of children at risk.
The Lexus was moving slower than the Model 3. If you want to know if this test is legit, you can put a child in front of the Model 3.
Whole Mars Catalog, who has had several exchanges with Musk on social media, apparently took this proposal to heart.
The account said that a piece of cardboard is not a child, even though the mannequin was not made of cardboard.
Whole Mars asked its followers if there was anyone in the Bay Area with a child who could run in front of my car to make a point.
Whole Mars says someone volunteered their child for the experiment.
We don't understand why we have to say this out. Please don't endanger your child's life for this stupidity.
The shareholders were heckled while addressing the ethics of the company.
