Makes sense to me, most people who own them seem to drive like jackasses.

My partner and I joke that they're the BMWs of electric vehicles. I once saw a 1-star review on an Electrify America station by a Tesla driver who was freaking out about the station not being compatible with their car and whining about how it should be because Teslas are the most common EVs on the road and how they're never going to patronize Electrify America again. Meanwhile, there's a Tesla charging station just a few blocks away that has at least a dozen available spots whereas the Electrify America stations only have four.

It's a Good Thing their Boss Elon Musk isn't in Charge of Vehicle Oversight now! That would be REALLY Corrupt!

i hadn't ever thought about how the headlights having space between themselves on cars really helped judge how far a vehicle was and how fast it is moving toward me.

that is nigh impossible to judge with the teslas with the unibrow lights when moving in the dark.

New VW vehicles also have this. Seems to be the new thing
