So the Tesla Model Y has a lower fatal accident rate than sports cars, but they report it as Tesla overall having the highest fatal accident rate? Perhaps that's because _all_ the cars they make are stupid fast and heavy, and they don't offer cars where it's far harder to get into those situations?
- jiggawatts 2y agoI wonder if it’s because there’s more passengers per model Y on average than a two-door sports car! One fatal model Y accident might cause half a dozen gas fatalities, but a Porsche wrapped around a tree might kill just the lone driver.
- IAmNotACellist 2y agoGood point too. Things that the authors should've thought about.
- tga_d 2y agoBoth the comment and TFA clearly indicate it's measured in terms of fatal accidents, not fatalities.
- sneed-oil 2y agoI would guess that having more than one passenger increases the chance of at least one of them dying in an accident
