Western EVs are not bad.

(Except Tesla.)

Is this the pinnacle of safety features Tesla or....

Volvo, probably. If I had to pick one manufacturer who's always been on the leading edge of safety.

As for Tesla, I wouldn't consider "lock all the doors when the car catches on fire" to be a very good safety feature.

Volvo Cars is majority owned by Chinese company Geely. Perhaps not 'Western' anymore
