At this point, one might wonder why we read about Indian families so frequently in the news mourning their losses to Tesla.

Four people are dead and another is in hospital after a Tesla driving through downtown Toronto at a high rate of speed crashed into a guardrail and struck a concrete pillar on Lake Shore Boulevard.

It happened in the eastbound lanes of the busy road, east of Cherry Street, shortly before 12:15 a.m.

“The vehicle lost control, struck a guardrail and then struck a concrete pillar. Upon impact, the vehicle then caught fire,” Duty Inspector Phillip Sinclair told reporters Thursday morning.

Apparently some people still haven’t got the memo that Tesla are such poor quality they become death traps. Many Indian upwardly mobile families apparently fall victim to targeted fraud, buying into a false privilege ticket that ends up killing them.

One person survived the crash, thanks to bystanders with a metal pole who rushed to smash a window after the doors failed to open. Tesla has a long-standing door release defect that causes many of its crash victims to be burned to death while trapped inside.
