Not surprised to see Tesla EVs on the list. Extremely heavy cars, all that weight generates a lot of kinetic energy that has to go somewhere in an accident, and if it isn't into the Tesla passengers, it's definitely into the other passengers unfortunate enough to be in a crash caused by a 2-3 ton tank.
