I suspect the biggest factor is speed. After getting used to EV for over a year, every ICE vehicle feels painfully sluggish and slow. If that's the case I'm curious to see how the numbers compare to other EVs.

The worst 23 models according to the study are here: https://www.iseecars.com/most-dangerous-cars-study#v=2024

I'm not sure which of them are evs, but you could work it out fairly easily. Even if many of them are, it still looks to me like tesla is doing poorly by this metric.

None of the others are EVs, except maybe a small % of Kia Souls
