It’s 24 out of 1000 for Tesla, close second 23 out of 1000 for Rams, and third 21 for Subaru.
I was wondering what the average was, but more than double the incidents than the lower end isn’t insignificant.
I was about the severity of these incidents. I imagine Ram incidents being much more deadly. Also, I thought Tesla would have technology to avoid accidents so I’m surprised it’s so high up there.
Tesla's a really expensive to repair, so even minor accidents often get claimed with insurance. So if you look at incident rate by insurance claims, you would expect them to be disproportionately reported.
I wonder if there's a correlation between the accidents and people fucking around with automation, the types of people buying them or the car itself.
