What's great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he's absolving Musk, or that he's criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,

'No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!'

Also dangerous for crews. Sherman tank crews had a 75% survival rating when their tank got bust. I think the tiger had an 80% death rate or something.

lol survival rate vs death rate.

OK so survival rating of 75% vs. 20%. Happy?

No I liked the original! It’s a stark contrast!

Is that because of the tank though, or the situation it ended up in? If they had 20 modern MBTs I expect they would still end up with a high fatality rate.
