EV owners of today and tomorrow

The IseeCars article states exactly what Motor Trend quoted. Tesla is the most dangerous overall brand at 5.6
I don’t see a data slip up you’re referring to.

Welp. That does it!

Time to sell my Y and go back to ICE.

The data is a bit misleading, as it makes most readers infer that it is representative of the vehicle’s relative safety, which it is not, because it doesn’t factor in the speed of the vehicles. The methodology only factored in miles, not speed. Government crash tests are all conducted at a given speed to ensure a fair safety rating

Some here might contribute to purchase a Plaid for you, based on that accident history.

Thanks for sharing that. I found the data interesting, although I have to say that the numbers Motor Trend article are just off, as in weirdly off. I'm not sure what happened, but I think that there was a slip up in data somewhere between iSeeCars and the author.

The data quoted is from iSeeCars, and here is their actual data;

The 23 Most Dangerous Cars On The Road - iSeeCars.com

The fatal accident rate is now 2.8 per billion miles and the Hyundai Venue is the car with the highest fatal accident rate, while Tesla has the highest...

I'm at a loss to explain the differences between that table and the MotorTrend article.

I do like the data, and frankly, it seems to confirm my experience here, where post Covid drivers just don't seem to be driving as well as they were pre-Covid, and I would include myself in that. I didn't drive much at all for a couple years. Now I just don't drive that much, and I can tell that I'm not as good as I remember being. (I would readily admit that it also could be that my memory is shot, too, so who really knows?)

All the best,

Peter

I've been in a few of those cars and owned one on that list. The Buick Encore.

The Encore was similar in size the the Nissan Rouge, and a few other brands.

Had a Kia soul and a Chevy versa as rental cars.

The soul wasn't too bad to drive and surprisingly roomy.

The Versa I rented for 24hrs to drive home from the Houston airport when I got stranded there at 1pm in the afternoon. Flight canceled and wouldn't get out till mid morning the next day.

That versa was absolutely horrible.
It was a toaster oven on wheels.

Had a tractor trailer blow past me in texas and I almost got tossed off the road.

I was so worn out driving that thing home, from fighting to keep it on the road

Sorry to hear about your wife. Hopefully all’s good now.

I’m interested in why the vehicle windshield wipers kept activating on a blue sky day in the video?
