Tesla Drivers Have the Highest Crash Rate of Any Brand: Study


Recommended Posts

Just days after Tesla was forced to recall nearly every car it ever made over safety issues involving its Autopilot system, a new report alleges that Tesla has the highest accident rate of any automotive brand. LendingTree, the auto loan and mortgage giant, didn't go any further into its analysis other than to look at crash numbers. The report doesn't explain why Teslas crashed at a higher rate than any other brand, only that it does.

According to LendingTree, between Nov. 14, 2022, and Nov. 14, 2023, there were 23.54 Tesla accidents per 1,000 drivers. Only two other brands had more than 20 accidents per 1,000 drivers, Ram (22.76) and Subaru (20.90). That accident rate also helped it earn the second-highest incident rate, 31.13, behind only Ram (32.90). The difference between accident rate and incident rate is that the latter also factors DUIs, speeding, and any other citations.

The best part is, if you read into the numbers, Teslas have the second highest number of incidents, the highest number of accidents, and are in the lower 1/3 of DUI's.

That means they are shitty drivers all on their own, without the aid of the impairments.

One of my employees forwarded this article onto Tesla boy they used to work with.

bad drivers in a vehicle too powerful for them not surprising.   the fact that those things are too fast to run an NHRA dragstrip with no cage but any fucktard with $ can get one with ludicrous mode is ludicrous.  

 

 

 

I'm guessing the majority are techies.  Probably playing with their phones or other distractions

EV’s are silly but this is probably attributed a lot to the low intellect of the owners 

More likely book smart people with zero common sense.

Tesla sells the most autopilot cars…….i can’t believe I have to type that fact.

That speaks more to the level of moron that allows the car to go on autopilot and get distracted.

There is a massive difference if an aircraft at 30,000 feet,  than on a highway surrounded by vehicles.

"But it's called autopilot" as the jaws of life come out, only cuts it if you're a EV douchebag on his period.

Tesla drivers are:

#1 for accidents (article)
#2 for incidents (article)
Bottom 1/3rd for DUI's (article)
Sell the most Autopilot vehicles (you)

All signs point to the average Tesla driver as being a shitty driver.
