- cost if the car is stolen
- damage (and third party injury, e.g. whiplash) to the car you hit, which can be a lot if hit by a Tesla/QUOTE]
It is rare for a Tesla to be stolen, successfully, because the car is always trackable when driven. The only way I could even imagine it could be stolen would be if they somehow disabled the computer in the car and then loaded the car onto a carrier truck. They would then move it to a shop, where they could tear it down for parts. That's a lot of trouble to steal a car you couldn't drive without getting caught.
I would doubt that the bodily injury to someone in another car hit by a Tesla would be worse than if hit by another car.
In fact, might it even be less since the Tesla is capable of absorbing more of the energy of the impact?
