Counter point: Tesla's bursting to flames. ;-)

Takata was a scandal, even more so as it was Japanese supplier. I just hope we don't use exceptions to the rule in general discussion now, are we?

Yeah, but Takata was a pretty major "exception" -- it resulted in the biggest safety recall in American history Even though all of its other competitors gave up on using cheap ammonium nitrate because of its inherent instability, Takata pushed forward, as if they had some magical engineering solution. This decision required years of deliberate delusion and coverup and denial of evidence. It was not just some blunder that was tragically overlooked.
