Tesla has made a change to its Safety Score, releasing a new version 2.1 this week. While the formula itself has not changed, the company has updated the Late-Night driving metrics used in the calculation. […]
I kept a 99 for driving score including 3000 miles of highway driving and a week dealing with Vegas traffic to get my FSD. it was rough but totally possible.
I think the late night driving metic is total crap though.
What about people who work at night? In my book driving at night is safer because there are far fewer drivers and many of the idiots are off the streets.
Are there more inebriated drivers at night or is the ratio to fully functioning drivers just skewed at night? Wondering what they’re actually basing that on… Would suck to get a higher insurance bill because of a late night trip to the ER.
In our area driving at night brings a statistically higher chance of wildlife-involved accidents. If you told your insurance company you worked straight nights, I’m pretty sure they would jack it up. That’s why you don’t necessarily disclose that, the only questions I’ve ever been asked about work, is what distance it was that I was driving daily. Always just left it at that, even when I did work nights many many many years ago.

No idea. Around here in the daytime people are aggressive jerks when driving and at night there’s less traffic and people are more mellow.
