>less than 750 deaths worldwide
Is Tesla the safest car brand ever made?

>>28563875 (OP)
>company makes a kit car
>only 20 produced
>5 of them kill people
>guys look we have the lowest fatality rate of any car produced

Didn't like 4 jeets burn to a crisp in one last week?

Volvobros.. 我们的回应?

>>28563880
Yeah, that's false. 40,000 deaths per year in USA. Tesla isn't even a blip.

>>28563925
>u-umm actually all the statistics are lying, tesla is super safe!!!!
facts don't care about your feelings.
tesla makes 2 cars with the highest fatality rate per billion miles driven in the top 20.
Teslas probably get good crash ratings, but their drivers are fucking morons.

>>28563943
>750 deaths worldwide over a decade vs 40,000 deaths per year in one country
Sounds like you're denying statistics.

>>28563880
Exactly twice as lethal as the average car, almost as if they were aiming for it kek
>>28564097
funny man

>>28563883
TVR fucking won

Idk but over here in krautland we have rich kids die in ///UDM all the time.
It’s been getting worse recently. I blame burgerking influencers and various other richfags on social media

>>28563925
Is it required that you be an illiterate retard to drive a tesla?
It says right there
>fatal accidents (cars per billion vehicle miles)

In order to have a meaningful statistic comparing multiple things with vastly different points of reference(ie: the number of miles driven by toyotas vs the number of miles driven by teslas), you need a baseline by which you're measuring. It's the same concept as measuring things like murder rates per capita instead of just a raw number.

>>28563883
This guy even tried to explain it so simply that even you could understand, and you still pissed and shit yourself while attempting to defend your fag mobile.

It's hard to die in your car when most of your time in it is spent crawling in traffic on your way to and from work.

>>28564584
Teslas manage

>>28563875 (OP)
A car's death toll is a measure of its awesomeness.

>>28564561
Teslas are the most popular car sold in the world. So they would still be lower.

>>28563880
What's interesting about this stat is that Tesla gets good "safety ratings" and has the exact same airbags and all that shit as every other car. So there must be some other reason for why they're so deadly. Personally I think it's some combination of having crazy acceleration in a non-enthusiast car and the dumbass drivers thinking that this shit is actually self-driving when it's really not.

>>28564912
Bait the hook, man

>>28564931
Evs being marketed to people that treat pedals as on off switches are absolutely why so many people are crashing them.
Not only crashing them, but crashing at fatal speeds. It's the main contention I have with the ev hummer. A 4-5 ton vehicle that can get to 60 in 3 seconds is just going to get people in normal cars killed when they run over them as if it's monster jam

>>28564962
I think the hummer ev looks cool but you're right, it is ridiculous that it and cars like it are totally normalized. You can make a car that is dangerous to other people all you want, but you can't make a car that could potentially be dangerous to its own driver.

>>28564550
That...doesn't even look that bad. where they not wearing seatbelts?

>>28564968
That's the plan, make shit that will kill other people as an excuse to push autonomous vehicles further
>look at how dangerous cars are now, you don't really trust people with something so deadly, right?

>>28564931
They aren't deadly, they're some of the safest cars on the road and have the lowest death rates.

>>28565019

>>28564912
There were 89 million vehicles sold in the world last year, and last year Tesla sold only 1.8 million cars. That's 2% of the vehicles sold in 2024. Now account for all the vehicles which sold before Tesla existed that are still on the road, and I'd bet that Tesla vehicles account for less than 1% of the vehicles currently in use globally.

>>28565019
Cite your sources.
We'll wait.

>>28563925
>>28564097

>>28565019
lowest death rates for who? the driver or the people they plow into?

>>28564931
Friendly reminder the doors are fully electric and the "emergency" manual releases are hidden behind covers that would be very difficult to reach in an actual accident.

>>28565180
Better than a gas car where the rear doors don't work from the inside at all.

>>28563875 (OP)
That's not right, I've killed more than 734 Tesla drivers

>>28564561
>>28564912
anon, niggers don't understand per capita and liberals don't understand that the government hates them and wants them dead.
Airbags are LESS safe than no airbags, the NHSTA has data that proves this, then on top of it 50% of all airbags made worldwide for decades were actually claymore mines, and yet they still shill for their "safety".
Tesla is the same. They add features that don't work (self-driving, collision avoidance, etc.) and then sell them to you for more money. People who wasted their money on them don't want to admit they were conned, so they'll say the car is "safer", even when all data says otherwise.

>>28565675
What did he mean by this

>>28565924
I got a ride from someone in their gas car and their rear doors didn't work at all. They said they replaced the door locks 4 times but they just keep breaking.

>>28565915
And how many miles were the Teslas driven and total deaths they counted?

>>28565934
here we go again...

>>28565933
sounds like a simple wrenching issue

>>28565936
Extrodinary claims require Extrodinary evidence. Saying the safest cars on the road driven by the safest demographic is killing many people needs the full data shown to ensure they didn't make a mistake. Did they under calculate the miles driven? Or somehow over calculate the deaths?

>>28565180
People didn't think 3-door gas cars were massive death traps. Just that they were inconvenient.

>>28565924
There's often a child-safety switch to keep your toddler from opening the door while driving. It makes it so that the door only opens from the outside. Sounds like someone flipped that.

>>28566016
All 3-doors I've had have the front seat slide and fold forward at the push of a (mechanical) button that's easy to reach from the backseat. One even had an extra pedal to do the same thing. Takes 0 skill and 1s.
Combined with electric seats they do become death-traps though.

>>28566020
Nope, the vehicle doesn't have a child lock. That's the first thing I asked when I couldn't get out.

>>28565943
>safest cars on the road
You know those safety tests only test the rarest types of collisions right?

>>28566349
You are retarded.

>>28565933
The idiot probably didn't understand the function of the "child door lock" button on his door and every time he pushed it by accident the doors stopped being openable from the inside and he didn't know why.

Wouldn't be surprised if he brought it to a shop every time, they pushed the child lock button, and charged him full price for repairing the door locks because he's a moron.

>>28566349
>Nope, the vehicle doesn't have a child lock.
They all do. It's mandatory.

>>28566531
Yeah, for getting into a gas car. Hope you enjoy burning to death because you couldn't get out the back doors!
