LendingTree's study, based on tens of millions of insurance quotes between November 2022 and November 2023, placed Tesla drivers at the top of the most-accident-prone list. Only...
Ram trucks drive like fucking assholes so I believe this. Damn near any time you see one of those lifted Dodge trucks on the highway you can assume they’ll behave like a jerk if given the opportunity.
And as far as Teslas go, I really do not think people should have cars that accelerate that fast. People are dumb as shit and Tesla’s slowest model has a 0-60 of under 6 seconds and a lot of their cars are sub 4 seconds. That’s super car territory.
Tires moreso than brakes. Ultra low rolling resistance tires help increase range. But they’re crap for high acceleration/deceleration. Not sticky enough (by design) to work in those situations.

Super car acceleration, normal car braking.
It’s not a great combination in a car that’s heavy, but I guess you don’t sell cars by bragging about braking distances.
Plus they are designed to have low amount of aerodynamic drag. So no aerodynamic grip in fast corners.

I agree, but what to do about owners of supercars then? It’s not like if they have any particular training to operate them safely, for the most part.
