How about some FACTS BITCH

In 2022 in the USA, there were 285 million registered vehicles. Also in 2022 there were 5,930,496 reported crashes, resulting in one crash for every 48 vehicles in 2022.

In the 7 YEARS between 2015 and 2022 Tesla has delivered 2.6 million cars with Autopilot capability. In the 6 YEARS between 2018 and 2024 there were 956 reviewed crashes, resulting in one crash for every 2,720 Teslas in that period. Tesla is FIFTY SIX TIMES SAFER than humans in the USA alone

I’m almost won over by your charming manners, but…

What is your source?

What happens when the severity of accidents are taken into account? Because it could be this: Tesla Has the Highest Fatal Accident Rate of All Auto Brands, Study Finds

Tesla’s self-driving features expose their cars to a distinctive kind of risk. It would be important to distinguish the accidents where this played a part.

Regardless of the statistics, there are some other clear design problems with Tesla’s, such as batteries that explode in a crash and doors that won’t open without power (not to mention autopilot’s limited camera-only inputs and software glitches). These are still concerns specific to Tesla that other brands don’t share.

That’s some nice fact cherry picking, and it ignores Tesla’s ongoing campaign to hide and obfuscate their crash records from the NHTSA and the public.
