Bad behaviors and complete inattentiveness.

2. Where I live the drivers are a holes and take many risks driving

I saw one about a year ago this Tesla cut off another driver exiting on a freeway off-ramp and it was rainy and he skidded into the guard rail and crashed. I was maybe 20 feet away stuck in the opposite direction and saw the driver get out and the car caught on fire. I was able to get onto the freeway into the other direction I was heading to. I was gone about 2 hours and exited back to that off-ramp and I saw the charred remains of the Tesla wreckage and for weeks you could see where it was char white burned into the road.

3. This has been somewhat debunked. The Model 3 was rated safest EV by same group.

By lumping together all five Tesla models, the brand score leaves the wrong impression.

The Model S and Model Y brought the whole brand down, the Model 3 was rated as safest EV.
