“Tesla vehicles have a fatal crash rate of 5.6 per billion miles driven, according to the study”
The US average is 2.8 fatal crashes per billion miles. Tesla runs at double that, and the Model Y, the best-selling vehicle in the world, sits at 10.6. The IIHS still names the Model Y a Top Safety Pick+, and the study blames the drivers. A safety award means little when the owners keep dying in them.
