A highlight of one of the things going on

So essentially brake checking cars behind you. Glad I get to become a QA engineer against my will for Tesla.

<insert low effort drive by comment about maintaining an following distance that is not reflective of what is realistically possible in anything but the lightest traffic conditions here>

I know everyone says "I'm a good driver" but I'm religious about following distance when driving, rage filled commuters behind me be damned. I get really anxious as a passenger now for that reason.

But I swear, around where I am the left lane is reserved for cars packed like a tuna can traveling 80+ mph.

While yeah the drivers are in the wrong, throwing a malfunctioning tesla in there is going to hurt a lot of people that wouldn't have been hurt if it didn't do that.

Are they really in the wrong if everyone agrees it's something reasonable to be doing? We're not too far from some philosophical questions.
