That site is behind a paywall to me so this might've been addressed, but to play devils advocate I'm wondering about the rate of incidents between Tesla and all other manufacturers combined?

Now it could just be that I'm in the Midwest, where we're only ahead of the south when it comes to adopting changes, but I practically see no other EVs still other than Teslas. I'm talking 8 Teslas before I see one Chevy Volte or something

You don't have to be an EV to have self driving features. My non-EV Audi has self sriving features.

It should be normalized per mile. If it isn't, then this data means absolutely nothing. Of course, we can't read it to verify the claim.

Per million miles, in the lead

Paywall Protip: use an archive service to read paywalled articles. Archive.is works great

If you use Firefox, there is an add-on called web archives that makes things easier

I get around that paywall using uBO on Chrome with the addition of this filter; https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters
