Like 99.8% of drivers, I don&#x27;t race my car, so that stuff doesn&#x27;t really matter. If you care about that, compare to a BMW 5 series.<p>I used an Accord as an example because I&#x27;m familiar with it, feel free to pick almost any midsize sedan to reach the same conclusion. Perhaps a Volvo or Subaru would address whatever your safety concern is.<p>If you look at the 90th percentile car buyer driving 12-15k&#x2F;year, there is still a total cost premium from an operations POV. Insurance will skew that more.<p>In terms of range, Tesla makes a compelling case for a typical commute. But any distance driving is a different story. Charging on the go is both sparsely available and very time consuming.<p>I&#x27;m not saying it&#x27;s a bad car, just a poor value for most people.
