For me the worst part about Tesla’s (and other electric cars in general) is when you’re driving behind one and they have the regenerative breaking set to maximum. When they release the gas and start coasting, they decelerate a lot quicker than I do when I start coasting behind them which forces me to brake constantly.
Even when I keep my distance, it’s happened to me plenty of times that I gotta press the brakes after the EV in front of me coasts for a while when I do the same. Non-EV’s don’t have the same issue since they coast down at the same speed as me. Not cool to assume that everyone drives like a Dodge RAM owner.
That’s really a driver problem not a car problem. You’d see the same behavior with a manual car in front too. I’ve got a Y and it’s the easiest thing in the world to keep a set distance with the guy in front.

maybe just keep a bit of distance and don’t climb in their trunk? that also applies to non-EVs driving in front of you.
