They are also quite heavily powered.
My Renault Megane E-Tech has “only” 220hp and that already gives quite a kick.
Not sure about model 3, but all others are much stronger than that - as far as I know.
Combine that with a large and heavy car (Y and X series) and many people will underestimate how much kinetic energy it has.
I’m not really a car guy, so maybe I got some series or data wrong, but I think the train of thought still stands.
