FWIW, that's ridiculous. If a popular car showed a 100x increase in fatalities for some common demographic, that would show up in the data. Sites like HN would be away in "Teen Boy Killer" Tesla articles. It's not.
I won't speak to the anecdata, clearly some kids want to drive fast. But speed on regular roads is limited by the roads, not the car. A Corolla or Outback is no less capable of reaching those speeds, its just takes 3-4 seconds longer to do it. That's the kind of delta that, sure, might show up in the data if you look hard (it's a solid hypothesis), but 100x is nonsense.
