I never said it was unsafe or even attempted to hint that it was.
If you change its design / construction, then you change the safety aspects.

Tesla is ramping up their production - the Model 3 will probably be the best selling car in the US within a year - and maybe even this calendar year. It is earning a profit. It is the safest production car ever made.
