Literally the first line: A bigger, heavier vehicle provides better crash protection than a smaller, lighter one, assuming no other differences between them
Sure we want a car with crumble zones and airbags, but physics really comes into play: when a car weighs 3x as much as yours, in a collision you will be suddenly accelerating backwards. Brain injury at the very least is highly possible.
A Tesla X weighs as much as a Chevy Tahoe - and while large SUVs are fairly common they usually smaller like highlanders and the like.
It’s fine to price the probability low, but when you are dealing with extremely high consequences to your children, it’s hard to have a dispassionate view of the probabilities.
