An exploding phone is not a straw man argument. It’s an extremely valuable data point. Who is more likely to commit murder, a randomly selected person or a randomly selected person from those with an existing murder conviction?
By that logic ... Apple phones had antenna problems. You probably should not buy that brand anymore.
Apple is the best company in the world at operations. I don't know how they do it but: 1) Ever year they manage to diligently upgrade iphones/ipads, macbooks and watches. 2) Every year they make some progress in their quest of removing suppliers by becoming vertically integrated. They don't only remove the supplier. They beat their former suppliers specs. (e.g: M1 chip). 3) Every year they make some progress in their…
Apple's mobile devices haven't been that interesting since the iPhone X / Watch Series 3. Nothing really has felt like a 'must have' upgrade. iPhone 12 & series 4 watch was definitely an improvement stylistically, but that's about it. And apple only really cares about privacy from 3rd parties, not privacy from apple for their customers. They don't E2E encrypt their backups, and many other services, which makes their…

They remove the supplier because they beat their specs.

Cables, on the other hand... I honestly can't remember seeing any other cable casings disintegrate like Apple's.
Funny thing is Apple internally use Anker cables as they're much more resistent than their own. It's well known that Apple prioritizes thinness, aesthetics and industrial design over function and reliability which is ironic given how stupid the magic mouse looks when it's charging.[1] How Jonny Ive green-lit that is beyond me.

It’s only “by that logic” if you equate bad reception to explosions.
If you keep moving the 'logic' goalposts to justify 'Apple is the best', then let me point out to you that bad reception IS just as bad, if not worse than batteries that could potentially explode.
If you've got an accident or an emergency in a more remote area and can't get a reception to communicate all the details to the emergency services in time, then you or others could very well die.
And, as opposed to batteries which due to chemistry reactions are more unpredictable and complex to lab-test for real world use, antenna design and reception quality can be easily tested in the lab before launching the product (RF engineer here), instead of blaming the users for "holding it wrong", so Apple gets no pardons from me on this life endangering fuckup.
Plus, the phones with battery issues that have actually exploded were not more than a handful, so the risk of you actually being affected was low but all were recalled and refunded vs iPhone 4's poor antenna design which would plague all the phones, all the time and instead of a recall you got a rubber bumper lol.

I think that is fantasy land thinking on the part of all 3, and I am sure past companies all thought the same thing until someone did out compete them... Telsa is even more fantasy to believe Ford, VW, or Toyota will never be able to out compete them in manufacturing. Ohh sweet child.....
The other guys problem is they can’t design anything worth manufacturing at a price that is competitive to Tesla

Tesla is a niche product catering to a small subset of Auto buyers. As other manufacturer ramp up their EV lines it will be clear that Telsa is not going to take over this market.
For example in the US the standard Pickup Truck is still the most popular vehicle, Tesla's "Cyber Truck" as no chance of unsetting the F150 for that title, and F150 Electric will be out in 2022/2023 and most likely will be the fastest selling EV in the US
and it will be interesting to see how the Mach-E does against Tesla
