As expected, Volvo is the king. I’ve always taken the “Teslas are the safest” with a huge grain of salt.

Anything Tesla is tough because of the mobilized army of fans.

Electric cars are really amazing in some scenarios though - I was a passenger in a Tesla in a winter accident that would have been a rollover event in many cars… we ended up in a flat spin and in a ditch instead.

Volvo has always made safety a key value. I remember picking up my dad from a police station after he had been in a 50 car pileup in the 90s. His Volvo was unrecognizable, but he walked away, only needed help from a policeman to cut the seatbelt off as the buckle release wasn’t accessible.

So you take a one page HTML post + Volvo marketing as "proof" of your decision?
Nope, I take IIHS’s tests as proof. Nice try though!
