It then really boils down to luck and chance.. 😗

Most all modern cars survive bad wrecks. BMW has no advantage in this game. |
Except this car. Being in and around collision repair centers from time to time and how poorly Tesla's are put together, I will never own one or put my family in one. Very few spot welds and/or adhesive compared to other manufacturers. Yes they do well in frontal collisions do to the lack of an ICE and low canter of gravity, but in the even of a side collision they are terrible. Imagine having your kids in the car, then they're out in the street because your 100k SUV was split into pieces. No thanks!
