So your complaint is what, terminology?
Tesla deliberately deceives the public by intentionally publishing bogus, misleading analysis about their fire rates that deliberately imply Teslas are reduced fire hazards when Teslas actually result in 3-5x as many fatalities in fires per capita and you complain about my terminology?
Fine, fire deaths. In 2022, 3-5x as many people died in Tesla fires than would be expected amongst average cars amounting to ~3.5-8 extra deaths per million vehicles resulting in ~14-16 additional deaths in the US above expectation. In contrast, the Ford Pinto had 27 additional deaths over 7 years and ~1.5 million vehicles resulting in ~4 excess deaths per year and ~2.5 extra deaths per million vehicle years.
So now it is your turn to explain why it is okay for Tesla to result in 16 extra people dying and imply that a vehicle 1.5-3x more prone to deadly fires than a Pinto is not a fire risk.
Note that quoting the culprit, Tesla, or any of the Tesla hustlers is not a very good argument since they have a direct financial incentive to lie, so please do try to refrain from regurgitating the Tesla marketing and present actual analysis from competent sources.
