And why does the make and model of the vehicle matter at all.

Make and model of the car is one of the facts of the case. I’d rather have all the facts.

[Wuli]

I agree. Unless the “journalist” has some appropriate, legitimate, animus toward a particular make and model of a car involved in an accident, that - the make and model should not be part of the “news”. In any accident 99.99% of the time, drivers, not the cars being driven cause the accident.

Don’t know about other parts of the world but in California Tesla drivers are the worst drivers on the road.

Ego or stupidity one of them is a winner.

And why does the make and model of the vehicle matter at all.

In this case it's a Tesla. Teslas record everything; audio, video, speed, inertia, accelerating or braking, etc.

It is a throwback to the days of real reporters.

Could be because she was rushing and Teslas can accelerate far faster than a gas car can in certain driving modes.
