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.

So Tesla says. There is no independent verification of this data. It could all be bullshit.

Perhaps. I'm sure you'll provide me with the independent data you're basing that "Teslas are not safe" claim on

[–] masterairmagic@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you take Tesla's word and believe it, but ask for proof for the contrary?

You're just a hypocrite.

You made the first comment: "Teslas aren't safe", without providing proof.

And now you're calling someone a hypocrite because he asks for data of exactly what you claimed, while you're redefining your first argument as "the contrary".

So, do you have proof that Tesla's aren't safe in comparison to other cars, or is it just your opinion?

[–] masterairmagic@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We're literally having this discussion under a video where automatic braking should have kicked in, but didn't.

But you can't base a fact on one accident. Or even multiple. What if newspapers like to write especially about Tesla accidents to generate clicks?

Teslas seemingly have a lot of accidents, but without checking the statistics and comparing it to other manufacturers you wouldn't really know if the perceived truth is a fact or not.
