As the consequence the shim already became very complex and susceptible to bugs.

    CEO Dies When Her Tesla Drives Into a Pond

    Almost immediately upon making that ill-fated miscalculation, Chao called her friends who were just steps away, asking them if they could help her as her car began swiftly to sink. One jumped into the pond to try to save her friend. Ultimately, despite calling paramedics and other emergency officials, it took hours to get the car, with the CEO in it, out of the pond.

    [12:18] schestowitz

    According to experts, you have roughly 30-60 seconds to safely get out of a car when it starts sinking. With automatic windows like those used by Tesla and most other vehicle manufacturers, there are only a few seconds to push the button and roll down the windows before the water gets too high. After that, the only way to get out is to break the glass and because Tesla uses laminated glass, one of the most d [12:18] schestowitz urable types on the market, breaking it under the pressure of water would have been nearly impossible.
