    Another thing about Teslas is that even a slight fender bender that does no damage to an older car will cause damage. The bumpers are full of sensors, all pastic, and repairs are expensive.

    I wonder if more minor accidents are reported in Teslas causing the numbers to be higher?

      Plastic front and end panel is pretty standard and since they are expensive cars its no wonder they cost a ton to repair, like if you bump into a Mercedes s class that’s not cheap either.

      You can shit on teslas for a lot of reasons but I don’t think yours is valid as being tesla specific
