      Handing out driving licences like they were sweets instead of actually testing people’s ability to drive, maybe?

      Probably turned off traction control and floored it. EVs have some pretty solid acceleration and weight a bit more than their ICE counterparts.

        Nope, he drove 80km/h with traction control, but lost consciousness somehow. No lines on the road (out in the German countryside) so no line assist. Car went straight when there was a very mild turn, so he drove off the road, into some uphill ridge whi h launched him, woke up when flying through the air after which he landed in a bunch of trees. This is where he landed. He luckily only had 4 broken ribs.

      I think the tree didn’t give way when it should have and damaged it a bit, hard to tell though

          No, but it’s still a factor why they may not last forever XD never underestimate human error.

            My car wouldn’t have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

            But that’s also not because it’s electric.
