Hey Insurance Pros! 🌟 Here's a scoop you can't miss. A recent LendingTree study shook the auto world by revealing that Tesla drivers in the U.S. had the highest accident rate compared to 30 other brands. 🚗💥 With 24 accidents per 1,000 drivers, they topped the chart, followed closely by Ram and Subaru. On a different note, BMW drivers topped DUIs. 🍻🚔
But it's not just about accidents; overall driving incidents were also high for Tesla and Ram drivers. This means more than just fender benders - think DUIs, speeding, and other citations. 🚨🏎️ And guess what? These incidents hit where it hurts the most – the wallet! Insurance rates could spike from 10% for a speeding ticket to over 60% for DUIs. 💸
Interesting timing too, as Tesla faces scrutiny over their Autopilot features. While Elon Musk boasts about the safety of Tesla’s Autopilot, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration raised concerns, prompting a software recall. 🔄🔧
As insurance gurus, this data is pure gold. It’s a reminder of the ever-evolving landscape of auto insurance risk assessment. Keep your eyes peeled, folks! 🕵️♂️💡
