Elon Musk loves to talk about how safe Teslas are and how their autonomous driving systems are safer than humans.

But new data from the US road safety regulator shows Teslas have the highest rate of fatal accidents among all US vehicle brands.

C‘mon, #Tesla. Unlock your “auto pilot” in Germany and see the TCO of your vehicles soar. (Insurance premiums around here are largely based on the risk based on driver experience, location and the actual vehicle.)

Let's see how long this article is still online.

@parismarx 5 years ago it was one of the safest on the road, then Elon got his hands on it.

@parismarx Its almost as if fELon is a huge liar.

@KarenStrickholm @parismarx Now that he has a pet government, expect it to become a crime to talk about these stats.

@parismarx We currently rely on the US government to provide accurate data on all kinds of things: the weather, unemployment rates, crime rates, accident rates, disease prevalence and so much more.

I wonder how long it will be before the Trumpers corrupt this, like in 1984 when the party reports that the chocolate ration had been increased, when in fact it had been decreased. They didn't do this in the first term because relatively normal Republicans were hired at least at first, and business interests need good data. But when Trump's tariffs blow up inflation, seems he'll probably demand better numbers.

No Tesla for me. Who wants to be burned to death because the car doors won't open?

@parismarx Time to dismantle the NTSB I guess. If they don't report then ther is no problem, right?

Matthias Krämer

@parismarx Yes, but if all the drivers who have so bad judgement that they choose an autonomous Tesla, would drive themselves, their human driving statistics would be way worse. ;)

@parismarx.online Seems likely that most ars (yet).Teslas are mostly driven in cities. Maybe mostly by men...etc. were such variables accounted for? Not that I like Musk, and not that I have confidence in self-driving c

They may be safe, but for whom? I have to worry about the one in front suddenly stopping or the one next to my suddenly deciding to turn or to catch fire.

Musk arbeitet wirklich mit allen Mitteln😉

Da eher progressiv denkende Personen die Teslas gekauft haben, sind diese auch überproportional an Unfällen beteiligt.

Progressiv=Woke=Liberal=Demokrat

Tote Demokraten sind den Republikanern nicht mehr im Weg. So ist der Plan des Trump-Flüsterers.
Gegner ausrotten, da sind die Republikaner ziemlich gut drin, siehe diverse High School Massaker. 🤷

@parismarx “Most of these vehicles received excellent safety ratings, performing well in crash tests at the IIHS and NHTSA, so it’s not a vehicle design issue,” said Brauer. “The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities.”
