So I guess my driving gets better when I take the R1S. ?

2 things I found odd about the report;

Pontiac is on the list, hasn’t been built since 2010 would be more interesting to see a breakdown based on vehicle age rather than make. would probably be a standard bell curve with newer and much older vehicles lower.

Also the mention of people using Autopilot for ways it was not designed could be a contributing factor to the poor rating but they also noted that study did not breakdown if it was a factor or not.

I am not certain about accidents, but I often find a Tesla (or Prius) a few MPH’s below the flow of traffic in the left lane - or the Tesla parked without charging in a charger location as if it were a privileged parking spot.

Yes...agree that the data used may be somewhat dated since they list both Mercury and Pontiac drivers. However, I found it interesting that they listed Pontiac drivers as one of the safest...BUT....they also had one of the HIGHEST rates of DUIs!!! I guess if you drive an old Pontiac Aztec, you're either a very safe driver OR you had to be drunk to get into the thing in the first place. :oops:

Well, no surprise. Tesla drivers were BMW drivers at one point. Also, we still have a few Pontiac fleet vehicles at work and I can assure you, they are driven by our worse drivers.

Hmmm..Pontiac?? Throws the whole report into question. Also, no mention of BMW drivers, but I guess they’re not reporting on obnoxious self centered drivers.
And since I went there…
”what’s the difference between a porcupine and a BMW?”

”the porcupine has the pricks on the outside”
BMW drivers would have been my guess at 2nd worst.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Nissan Altima drivers yet.

We traded a BMW for a Tesla. And then that for a Rivian. We all know what assholes Rivian drivers are...

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Nissan Altima drivers yet.
This is what tells me the report is bogus.
