So people trying to insure a new Tesla were involved in accidents higher than Ram? Doesn’t say what car they were driving when they had accidents, only that they are looking for insurance on a Tesla. Anyone who claims this is because of Tesla vehicles has an agenda to push.

Anti Tesla/Elon agenda? On Lemmy? No - that can't be right

I'm sure next you're going to accuse us of communist apologia.

I read this and I missed the part where it only was for new vehicles. Based on what I read, this was for any requested quotes, which would include people shopping for better rates on vehicles they already have been driving.

Yea good point. The “study” is poorly done and the opinion fluff pieces coming out on top of it are just terrible.
