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...
Why? Just bc the brand doesn’t operate anymore doesn’t mean those cars vanished from the roads. There’s still Saturns and mercuries out there being driven daily.
It’s suspicious that all three top slots went to vehicles that haven’t been produced in ~15 years. It clearly indicates (among numerous other things) something wrong with the data/analysis. I have major doubts that someone currently driving a clapped out 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix is the safest driver on the road.
