Tesla has the highest fatal accident rate of all auto brands, study finds

I wonder how much of this is because (IME anyway) Tesla drivers are not very good. With all that tech it's easy to get distracted (there's literally a giant tablet looking thing for a console). It's also easy to think all the bells and whistles will do things for you so drivers are paying less attention because the car will beep and holler at them if things are going awry (except by that point it's too late).

Tesla drivers are young men with big wallets, stereotypically. That demographic is not known for their carefulness in traffic, or in any other matter. I'm sure that simple confounding factor is enough to explain the excessive fatality rate of Tesla cars.

There's a saying: BMWs are for folks that like to drive, Teslas are for folks that hate to drive.

My own add-on is: Toyotas are for folks that have to drive.

Tesla drivers demographic was that maybe in 2015. Today, it's the California camry.

And the same boring colors, year after year

You can add more parameters.

Whats the temperament of the driver. Certain brands attract hot heads who will drive recklessly. I was kind of expecting more sports cars in the top 5. 2/5 is still a good score.

Given the amount of SUVs as well, no matter how safe you make a small car, if an SUV rams you, it is just not going to end well for the smaller.
