Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes
machinin@lemmy.world 6 months agoSo you do you think Tesla’s crash at a higher rate? I think it’s a combination of instant acceleration, poor sensor-suite (like the lack of radar), and Tesla giving idiots free-reign to abuse the system as they please.

Maybe because it has nothing to do with Tesla. It’s a EV thing. Tesla just makes more EV than anyone else. It’s interesting to note when people switch to gas, they have more accidents.
The acceleration is a valid reason. Since Tesla has good controls to compensate for it. People don’t get how quickly they can get to an insane soeed

They use the term “rate,” which would account for absolute numbers. So just because Tesla sells more EVs wouldn’t account for it.

It’s why Tesla is in the news. The same stats run similar for other EV but nobody cares.
The article explains it’s switch from gas to ev and ev to gas and not as much about Tesla

Where are you getting that number? The report just said Tesla had the highest accident rate of all brands.
