Living around silicon valley with all the tesla drivers here, you learn real fast it makes for some of the worst drivers out on the road. Regularly see them running red lights and just generally not paying attention. They crutch too hard on the auto-pilot and dick around on their smart phones, which is probably exactly what this guy was doing. It's bad for tesla drivers and it's bad for drivers around them. Hope Tesla loses this lawsuit just because of that.

Is it that Tesla drivers are actually worse, or that Teslas stick out to you more than other mundane cars and are pretty common around Silicon Valley?

Good point, it could be they stick out more to me. They are super common in SV. I've personally had teslas run red lights in front of me on two different occasions within last couple months and those particularly stand out in my mind since they put my life in danger mid-intersection. I ride a motorcycle and suspect the Tesla auto pilot is particularly bad at spotting motorcyclists.

Generally, the more someone pays for their car, the more entitled they are and the more laws they break.
