Super weird correlation, I admit, but in my city it's been my experience that one odd trend I've observed has been that Tesla drivers do three things disproportionately more frequently than drivers of other vehicles:

Lack of using a turn signal (which they arguably share with BMW drivers.

Forcing their way into lane changes and/or cutting people off (often accompanied by a noted lack of signal).

And flat out just plain running red lights. This last one is the most alarming and honestly the one I've noticed to be most closely linked to Tesla drivers. It's so bad that even if I have a solid green when approaching a red light, if I can see a Tesla in approaching or crossing lanes, I'll let off the gas and hover over the brakes, just in case they "pull a Tesla". I've seen many of them pull up to a solid red, drift to a stop, then find a gap in the cross traffic that has a solid green and just dart across. I've seen them turn left on red without stopping. Seen them cause near accidents, all running red lights like they're just a suggestion.
