So basicly walk away from high speed front end impact that pins the driver inside because you cant roll the dashboard or cut the A pillar.

After seeing a woman’s house destroyed by an EV ( Not Charging ) Mercedes Benz !! It was a rental. I’m not buying one of those. The Lucid is over $200, 000 !! I’ll keep my car.

it sounds like electric vehicles are more dangerous to their owners and other people if they create hard to put out fires and they're more difficult to rescue people from in a crash, with all these areas they have to avoid cutting into in the car

Sounds like the govt needs to regulate EVs, to codify safety points for FRS.
