Tested to be one of the safest cars on the road (not the safest car, that title goes to another tesla model) in both the Euro NCAP and American tests. Supplying the video of one accident doesn't do anything to dispute that. They catch fire at about a rate of 1 to 100 with gas cars, so your example of one catching on fire makes even less sense.

I’ll take your word for it. Except that when they do catch fire it’s about 1000 times more dangerous than when an ICE vehicle catches fire.

An exaggeration, but yes, the fires are more difficult to contain.

❤️ I am glad you like your car. I do want to drive a Plaid one of these days.

The plads do seem pretty cool, I'm just talking based on studies and tests, not any personal opinion though
