Big brother Tesla

Because they are very popular and people aren't used to driving cars with that much power and acceleration. I suspect that also if autopilot or FSD is being used that the cars may move in a way which isn't as natural to other drivers, meaning that their ability to anticipate what the car is going to do is impaired.

Am I understanding you correctly? Are you saying that other drivers could be at fault for not anticipating what the Tesla is going to do or that Tesla drivers don't have a scooby about what their car is going to do? The first is pure speculation which if true is a potential safety risk, and the second would show a definite safety risk.

So, not just the ransomware like repair costs causing insurance to be at the highest level then.

Can't, for the life of me, think why.

I had that software update a few days ago. It was to counter drivers who ignored the warnings of the auto steer autopilot.

Now warnings are more prominent, and if the driver has several infractions, Tesla car will disable autopilot for a week .

Is this a long winded way of agreeing that they are even more dangerous and antisocial than other cars?

Must be the drivers, then.

Behind BYD.

Behind BYD.

Only if you count BYD's plug in hybrids I think. Or unless you are only looking at sales in 2022.

Behind BYD.

Byd sell more including hybrids.

Pure BEV, Tesla still No1. For the moment.

It's expected BYD will surpass Tesla at the end of this year.

I doubt I'm alone in thinking that self driving cars are f*cking stupid, am I? Especially when the guy at the forefront of this technology signs off on design cues from the Citroen Karin.

They'll become self aware and then we're doomed.

The Karin, what a funky car. Shame it never went into production.

I have grown to like the Cybertruck. It's so different, it's alluring.

I think the Cybertruck will do well

Nice try Andy.

It won't.

The Karin was a rip off joke of a vehicle. Bertone got there first.
