How much safety are you willing to give up for a potentially marginal decrease in insurance premiums?

BUMP! I loved following that link! The evaluators' comments starting around 1:45 and especially the remark at about 2:10 that the Model 3 Performance with Track Mode not making the driver feel "stupid or you've gone too far" is revealing.
Two seconds with what is now a new learned muscle memory. Reach out underhanded, fingers to back of touchscreen, glance down, change temp with thumb. Done.
Already reflected. My Progressive rate is $20 cheaper on my Model 3 than my 09 Malibu. Quite a few discounts for the safety features. However, if Progressive wants to make my next six months cheaper, I'm good with that

My kingdom for a charging station: one electric-vehicle driver’s frustrating search
I-Pace owner searching for electricity in LA. It seems he didn't think about charging before purchase and might now appreciate the value of Tesla SuperChargers.

Good move.
I guess we just put this in the category of LA Times cluelessly bashing EVs.

Initially clueless but after the reviewers' experience he basically praised Tesla because it had a dependable and well laid out high speed charging network.
When it comes to I-PACE there are a lot more to worry about than charging network. Take this new I-PACE owner for an example, here's what he had to say:
"Love driving this car and I thinks it is beautiful. I’m Dutch by the way. Received the car Tuesday and have had many issues since: no or incorrect milage data, the radio switched on by itself after locking the car and couldn’t be switched of anymore, the mid console switched off twice and doesn’t function until software is reloaded, charging at home is impossible as the car doesn’t connect (hence 2 hours of charging at fast charging stations!!) and at fast chargers the operator has to start the session remotely as the car keep on killing the sessions. The GPS module is not functioning resulting in a blocked Remote App as the car is listed as stolen. While loving the car, the whole experience so far has been a downright nuisance. I’ve spend an average of 2 hours a day to keep this care going, which is more than I drove on average a day as the range is disappointing tonsay the least. Anybody out there with similar experiences and an idea what Jaguar is doing to solve it?"
And another:
"
I am not sure if I am really happy to read this, but at least it seems I'm not the only one. The car drives great, if it drives. My issues so far:
- Not charging, it keeps initializing or breaks up charging after a few seconds.
- Charging at fast chargers of 175 kW, actually goes slower than on fast chargers of 50 kW (I saw the same reported on a Dutch website)
- Total lack of range. This 400 km seems only possible down hill. I feel mine to be closer to 200. (even if I put the cruise control on 100 km max)
- Strange happenings with my profile settings. I feel I keep programming the machine. It might recognize me, but it is not really clear when.
- Remote app is only consuming phone space. Its working is limited.
So the car is now at the dealer..
As the car was transported by a lorry to the dealer it reported itself stolen. So I got a call from tracking company where a lady, very reassuring, told me she already guessed it was service based on the model and make of the car, we have loads of calls coming in.
Although I can sort of understand there might be issues with new technology, the handling of it by Jaguar is absolutely horrible. I was sent away by one dealer as (although the car is not charging at any charge point) the car was still running! I told him this would only take a good 100 km before it would all end. He didn't care. He was overloaded with new cars with problems and his first slot would be January!"
