There is a bias here in the numbers. Teslas are expensive and not everyone is buying them. The lower accident rate can be explained by the different demographic driving the vehicle rather than Teslas being better. For exemple, younger people might be more likely to cause accident because of different factors and they are also less likely to buy a Tesla because they are so expensive. I dont have the numbers for this, but we should all be careful with the claims of Tesla on safety when they compared themself to the global average.
The biggest bias is that the data comes from Tesla. Do you think they are going to release something that makes them look bad?
Sure. There are always multiple factors in play. However I'd still be willing to bet that there's nothing in Teslas that makes them inherently unsafe compared to other cars.
cough cough one pedal driving cough cough
