If you own a Tesla, or a loved one does, or you're thinking about buying one, or you share public roads with Tesla cars, you might want to watch the new documentary "Elon Musk's Crash Course."
Premiering Friday on FX and Hulu, the 75-minute fright show spotlights the persistent dangers of Tesla’s automated driving technologies, the company’s lax safety culture, Musk’s P.T. Barnum-style marketing hype and the weak-kneed safety regulators who seem not to care.
Solidly reported and dead-accurate (I've covered the company since 2016 and can attest to its veracity), the project, part of the ongoing "New York Times Presents" series, may well become a historic artifact of the what-the-hell-were-they-thinking variety.
