They might have slightly higher fatality rates than other "luxury sedans", but seem to be safer than the average car (which includes older models on the road that don't have active collision avoidance features or such). https://www.tesladeaths.com/#FAQ https://www.tesladeaths.com/#FAQ Note that I say "they might" because tesladeaths.com is probably overcounting slightly. It's created by a group of short sellers, and the IIHS may count fewer incidents for other cars. Until the IIHS releases properly comparable numbers themselves, it's hard to say for sure.

> Note that I say "they might" because tesladeaths.com is probably overcounting slightly. More than slightly, and that includes far more than just the ones where the touchscreen replaced nearly all controls not on the steering pedestal (Model 3, Y). I don't know how many years have to go by without supporting evidence before we can move on from these claims. More than three, apparently, and despite other manufacturers making the same shift toward touchscreens.
