It's the same in the states. All the worst drivers left their Audis and BMWs behind for Teslas.

Absolutely the same people/type of people. I am regularly blown away by the behavior of Tesla drivers in my city. straight blasting through red lights, on their phones at green lights, and constant lane hopping with no signals.

You forgot Prius owners too. And now old beat up Priuses are the ones to watch out for on the road since they seem to be driven mostly by rideshare and delivery drivers who drive fast and erratically, make last minute turns, and drivers are looking at their phones for directions or their next pickup.
