LendingTree's study, based on tens of millions of insurance quotes between November 2022 and November 2023, placed Tesla drivers at the top of the most-accident-prone list. Only...
The numbers are bullshit and this isn’t even a study. It’s an analyses of insurance data that was done wrong.
The top 3 “safest” cars are all makes and models that are no longer in production. Mercury, the #1, hasn’t made a new vehicle since 2011, Pontiac since 2009, and Saturn since 2010.
And all it analyzes is people’s driving record and the current model of vehicle they’re trying to insure. Someone who got rear-ended in a Honda and had their car totaled who is now trying to insure their new Tesla would be included in this even though they didn’t crash their Tesla nor were they at fault for the accident.
