Tesla hat laut Studie die höchste Rate an tödlichen Unfällen unter den Automarken

Crashes, not accidents. People chose to drive dangerously and the crashes are the consequence.

And you only need 1 guess as to why

Reading the [article](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/tesla-highest-rate-deadly-accidents-study-1235176092/), the [study is linked](https://www.iseecars.com/most-dangerous-cars-study#v=2024) and says:

>The top five most dangerous cars are the Hyundai Venue, Chevrolet Corvette, Mitsubishi Mirage, Porsche 911, and Honda CR-V Hybrid, with fatal accident rates nearly five times higher than the average vehicle

As for Teslas, the Model Y is high on the list, the S also made the list. The other models, particularly 3 and X are not in the top 23 list. Considering FSD is available on all these, and the 3 is the most affordable by far, I would be interested to know what the factors are with the Y and S that are putting it so high up.

important to note that a large part of this is that teslas are common among younger drivers with less experience who crash more anyway

This study is bullshit because the key metric for the denominator they use to measure this is VMT (Vehicle miles traveled). They don’t cite the data and say it’s proprietary so who knows how accurate it is. They use the government data for the crash data to mislead readers into thinking it’s all provided by the government by the government numbers don’t provide this data.

Also the study doesn’t meaningfully account for the fact that Tesla’s fleet was expanding at an exponential rate during the study period (2017-2022). They provide no statistical weighting for that and one of the vehicles (Model Y) wasn’t even sold during the whole period.

This is a sham study that some firm cooked up for headlines and I’m surprised it’s gotten so much traction.
