Are people getting into accidents because they aren't used to teslas' acceleration

Most likely. Even the lowest end Tesla can scare the pants off of a passenger who has never been in an EV before. I know this from personal experience. An EV driver noob who stomps on the pedal has a chance of panicking and death-stomping on the pedal more.

Yeah I actually wish they offered a Tesla with about 1/3rd of the power and better range / smaller battery
