I have no idea why you latched on to the utterly useless orders of magnitude when the correct comparison is a simple rate of deaths over vehicle miles.
If you drive lifetime 800,000 miles which is damn easy to do in America in a car that has 6-10 fatalities per billion miles your lifetime risk of dying or killing someone are up to 0.6% absolute not relative.
To be crystal clear its the difference between rolling a 500 sided die vs a 125 sided die where if you roll a one your brains end up on the dash.
Its a big difference and ascribing a difference in mortality to the drivers is equally poor. Its not just unfounded its counterfactual young drivers which largely can't afford Teslas are disproportionately involved in such crashes.

Purely based on driver demographics one would expect fewer fatal crashes.
Please explain an absolutely massive increase in fatal crashes.
