Ask literally anyone who's been in a horrific wreck in a tesla and walked away. They're incredibly safe vehicles.

There have been some pretty insane examples of this, such as this one: https://www.autoblog.com/2016/05/06/tesla-model-s-crash-germ...

Literally the definition of survivor bias.

I guess what I was attempting (and admittedly failing!) to say was that Tesla vehicles hold up very well in very bad wrecks. The cars have tons of driver assist / active safety features, but they also have a huge crumple zone due to not having an engine, and an exceptionally low center of gravity due to the battery. There are many cases where people walk away from bad wrecks in a tesla where they'd have been intensive care or worse in most vehicles.

No doubt! I crashed violently, twice, at highway speeds, in tiny 80s economy cars. Im fine. They must be safe! /s

You joke but I've literally heard people make this argument about seat belts.

Go to the Subaru forums and you get similar examples. Modern cars are generally very safe.
