You're Being Lied to About Electric Cars

This just in; you’re more likely to have an accident commuting to downtown SAN Francisco than in rural Idaho.

When the subject is accidents why would you think the quotes are for purchasing insurance instead of insurance repair quotes ? I didn't say it, I quoted the study which in this particular paragraph claims Tesla drivers have more accidents than drivers of other vehicles.

Lendingtree openly states that the data from that study is sourced from Quotewizard. Go here:

Do you see anywhere on that site saying anything about insurance repair quotes? Where are you getting this idea from?

Excerpted directly from the article you posted:

What to know about our study

Our study is based on QuoteWizard by LendingTree insurance inquiries from Jan. 1, 2024, through Dec. 31, 2024. We analyzed the 30 brands with the most inquiries in this period. This study categorizes drivers based on inquiries made for those brands.

Quotewizard is an insurance quoting engine for consumers seeking new insurance policy price quotes, nothing more.

It is not what I (or you) think, it is what is factual and true. But I would think Lending Tree knows what their study is about more than you (or me.) Did you ignore all the quotes I put in?

But to answer your question, the reason I would think (aside from Lending tree told me so) they were using data from insurance quotes is because people have to report how many accidents they have, and they also say what kind of car they drive when they request a quote. But they don't say what kind of car they were driving when they were in an accident, only the make of the car they currently want insurance for, so really meaningless data without even correlation.

I would never think the data was derived from auto repair quotes because that would be even more meaningless data, and no one ever mentioned this was the source (other than you).
