>Wait how does this anecdote change the need to compare apples to apples?
Because when you get into a car there are a lot more risks than it spontaneously combusting; and for those risks (like getting into an accident with a drunk driver), Tesla is already top of the class; almost as safe as a Volvo.
So is 7 in the last four days a lot; and am I in more danger in a Tesla, when accounting for other risks? If I am just as likely to; or even twice as likely to combust in a Tesla chances are the only car I'd be safer in is a Volvo.
- piva00 4y agoNo one was talking about comparing general car safety, the discussion was specifically around car fires on ICE vs Tesla EVs for relatively newer vehicles. I don't understand why you went on this diatribe about general safety...
- kajecounterhack 4y agoI'm still confused, I thought we were responding to this comment: `So, your Tesla is actually less likely to catch on fire than a regular ICE car.` << this assertion is not supported by the named statistic, that's all we are saying here. > for those risks (like getting into an accident with a drunk driver), Tesla is already top of the class I guess while we're here, I don't know if that's easy to back up either. Overall fatality rates vs other models show a complicated story.
