      The same stats run similar for other EV but nobody cares.

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

          Okay, so Tesla had the highest rate, but switching power train types seems problematic. It didn’t really say if other EVs are close to Tesla’s accident rates, or am I missing something?

              In any case, I think we can dispel the myth that Tesla is one of the safest cars. They have the worst accident rates among all brands and their driving assist features either can’t keep idiots from making bad decisions or, worse, even amplify the dangerous effects that idiots create while driving.

                  They give 2 statistics, accidents and incidents. Accidents are crashes, incidents are crashes plus tickets.

                  Tesla has most accidents per driver. Ram has the most incidents - the report you mention. Tesla has the second most incidents.

                  So, Teslas still top the number is accidents. Agree, we would need a study to figure out if Tesla driving assist suite is either incompetent at driver safety or malignant to driver safety. Perhaps this lawsuit will shed some light on it.
