OFSH dodged a bullet LOL

this is what happens when you drive a car made by a startup

the car’s brakes failed due to being undersized and the driver initiated a slide on purpose to slow the car down, ultimately using a wall to stop LOL

my Volvo compact / mid-size sedan has only 4 cylinders but the brakes are the same size as in the V8 powered Cadillac Escalade. because Volvo understands that braking is more important than acceleration.

sadly the average car buyer does NOT understand that and shit automakers like Cadillac, Tesla and Xiaomi will build whatever garbage people are willing to buy.

Volvo is of course not cool, which is why it is important not to speak to people who have words like “cool” in their vocabulary, or you will literally end up dead.

in fact if you simply buy the opposite of whatever is cool you will usually make a smart choice because people are dumb animals and if they are hype about something it is almost certainly dog shit.

the price of intelligence is therefore loneliness, as basically every philosopher in history has observed.

Tesla also uses extremely undersized brakes (on Plaid models especially) to the point that its scary. Granted for daily driving EV breaks are not utilized as in ICE because of regenerative braking the minute you take your foot of the acceleration but if you are going fast (as that car can easily) having tiny brakes is simply dangerous.
