The quote from the article that contradicts the headline:

> The Highway Loss Data Institute, a US-based organization funded by the insurance industry, has not found higher crash rates for Tesla vehicles or other EVs more broadly based on overall insurance claims.

The actual thing the headline is misrepresenting is that people who switch cars apparently crash more when they are getting used to the new model, and that increase seems slightly higher when switching from ICE to EV.

Its no wonder, considering the amount of acceleration a tesla has on tap would have made it a hyper car just 25 years ago.

[KennyBlanken]

25 years ago, hypercars were over 4 seconds and that required quite a bit of talent/practice and risking destroying the clutch.

A few years later there were three cars that could do under 3 seconds, one of which was little more than a tubular chassis and drivetrain. Another was a kit car and the third was the most expensive production vehicle in the world (Veyron.) The current Veyron, incidentally, loses to both a Lucid Air and Model S Plaid.

These days a lot of production sports cars are in the 3-4 second territory. The amount of power and acceleration available is insane and completely unnecessary / inappropriate for the street.

This is a new twist on Betteridge's law for headlines. "The question in the headline contains a false assumption."
