20% of vehicle crashes in the US are caused by motorcycles, and the 479kmi number includes those. The statistics have always been misleading for Tesla to use those numbers to compare vehicle safety. When comparing just luxury cars, Teslas have far more fatalities than other cars in the same price range.

Also before many improvements have been made to both the model s, 3 and x software and hardware over the years. https://www.tesla.com/blog/model-3-lowest-probability-injury-any-vehicle-ever-tested-nhtsa https://www.tesla.com/blog/model-3-lowest-probability-injury...
