You can run over normal size cars, possibly crush the occupants to death, and not even scratch your SUV....

What? Really?
I should like SUVs because I know that their bumper will hit likely me in the head and kill me instead of hitting my car's bumper so my car can absorb the impact the way that it's designed to?
Or are you saying that we should all drive SUVs, so we'll be safer in an accident? If that's your logic, then you might as well say that we should all drive M1A1s. Those would demolish an SUV in an accident, while the tank's occupants would emerge unscathed.
What we need is some sort of standard that puts everyone on a level playing field.

Good job Tesla for making a safe car. Hope the owners insurance covers the drivers misfortune.

I find your ideas intriguing, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Glad to know the Tesla driver survived.

How do you think Prius owners feel about Lambo owners? Or Lambo owners who wear socks with sandals?
