Let’s see it, show me the numbers! Everyone’s critiquing my quick mental math but I don’t see anyone contributing to fix it 🤷‍♀️. Will edit comment once I do!

Fix it for me then daddi

I wonder how this statistically compares to non-Tesla crashes?

Edit: quick Google/math shows average rate of lethal automobile crashes at 12 per 100,000 drivers. Tesla has supposedly sold 4.5million cars. 4.5million divided by 17 deaths from the article = 1 death per 200,000 Tesla drivers.

This isn’t exactly apples-to-apples and would love for some to “do the math” more accurately, but it seems like Tesla is much safer than a standard driver.

The other confounding factor is we don’t know how many of these drivers were abusing autopilot by cheating the rules (it requires hands on the wheel and full attention on the road)
