The thing is – nobody cares!

People can scream bloody murder till the cows come home, but Tesla for all its faults is king of the hill - literally more valuable the rest of the car industry combined. Musk is the invincible and irrespective of any shortcomings he's literally the richest person on Earth.

Tesla's approach is demonstrably the best approach in the court of the customer, irrespective of what we (others on the road) think or are put at risk.

"we (others on the road)" is not "nobody", and we definitely care. The law is supposed to intervene in tragedy of the commons cases like this for precisely this reason. The free market is known to have a few blind spots and this is one of them.

"invincible"? He has literally lost over $100B this year.

Tesla's market share is eroding every year, and is expected to decline to less than 20% by 2025.

There are plenty of people like me, who are choosing non-Teslas when they buy EVs.

Market cap has absolutely no relation to the "court of the customer", nor should it in terms of what safety features we allow or disallow.
