See my first post.
If bang for your buck is a concern, Tesla isn’t the best option.
Still not sure what any of this has to do with your belief that they are dangerous.
Correct.
It all revolves around high voltage and high current draw in a vehicle that could be mangled and have exposed conductors.
Higher voltage lends itself to arc fault issues and higher amperage creates heat which helps create imperfections in insulation increasing risk of arc flash. When both are present arc flash or ground faults can be fatal. You combine that with an accident mangling a car and exposing conductors to a metal chassis it can be a disaster waiting to happen. You can smell gas you can see an exposed flame you can’t always see a ground fault or realize that you are about to be the bridge that closes a circuit.
