Tesla drivers have been overtaking (or at least rising to the level of) BMW drivers as the worst on the road.

Around here the worst drivers are mostly larger cars. Broncos, wagoneer, range rovers, etc. Tesla drivers sometimes try to get zippy, same as BMW sefan drivers, etc. But the larger car drivers are aggressive af, tailing you reeeeeeeal close for however long it takes before they can whip around you.

I don't agree. In fact, the Tesla drivers around me are some of the better drivers. I still hate Tesla though.

That has not been my experience at all. I guess we just need more data.

Every Tesla driver I've seen in traffic has driven like they expect the car to drive itself if they fuck up. I would bet money that most people who got a Tesla want the self-driving features because they can't fucking drive.
