Tesla drivers had 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers, a study found. Tesla recently recalled 2 million vehicles over problems with its autonomous driving functionality.

    Is it possible that there’s a large overlap between idiots who are bad at driving and the type of people who buy Teslas?

      Yep, and the fact that a ton of people who get these cars legit think they will drive themselves…

        Does this statistic account for actual sales? I wonder if there are so many accidents because there are so many. I’m not a fanboy or anything. I am just curious how this was calculated.

            It all depends on where you live. So yea. More extensive research would be nice.

            Correct. But how many thousands are there? And in relation to what percentage of all Teslas compared to all other brands with similar models. Do I believe it? Absolutely. Is it a good statistic? It’s a good start.

              It’s adjusted per capita. You can’t ask for better.
