      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?

        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.

            You’re right, but the automobile industy is too opaque to do this kind of study. Maybe the insurance companies have this data, but they.are not sharing it.

            In the absence of such data we have to make do with what we have. What we are seeing are a lot of examples where Tesla’s are clearly doing irrational things and failing miserably. Youtube is not full of Mercedes cars failing miserably, eventhough there are a lot more Mercedes cars on the road.

      Tesla model Y scored the highest possible score on IIHS crash test as well as 5 stars on Euro NCAP

      Their other models have similar results. I believe Model X is the safest SUV ever made.

      EDIT:

      More than just resulting in a 5-star rating, the data from NHTSA’s testing shows that Model X has the lowest probability of injury of any SUV it has ever tested," Tesla said in a statement. "In fact, of all the cars NHTSA has ever tested, Model X’s overall probability of injury was second only to Model S.
