Tesla's are not safe.

Tesla on autopilot/FSD is almost 4 times less likely to be involved in a crash than a human driven Tesla which even then is half as likely to end up in a accident compared to average car. You not liking Musk fortunelately doesn't change these facts.

In the 2nd quarter, we recorded one crash for every 4.41 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology (Autosteer and active safety features). For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology (no Autosteer and active safety features), we recorded one crash for every 1.2 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

Not relevant at all here, when we are discussing occurences that seem so easily and obviously avoidable.

(But it's nice to see that the Fanboi team is awake now)

Tesla fails at basic safety in the most obvious and simple accidents (like this one or the car pileup at San Francisco tunnel).
