Tesla Has the Highest Fatal Accident Rate of All Auto Brands, Study Finds Tesla vehicles suffer fatal accidents at a rate that's twice the industry average, according to a new report. By Joe KucinskiPublished: Nov 15, 2024 11:11 AM EST Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent iSeeCars study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). The study was conducted on model year 2018–2022 vehicles, and focused on crashes between 2017 and 2022 that resulted in occupant fatalities. Tesla vehicles have a fatal crash rate of 5.6 per billion miles driven, according to the study; Kia is second with a rate of 5.5, and Buick rounds out the top three with a 4.8 rate. The average fatal crash rate for all cars in the United States is 2.8 per billion vehicle miles driven. The study also breaks down some of the data for individual models. The Tesla Model S has a rate more than double than average, at 5.8 per billion vehicle miles driven; meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y — the best-selling vehicle in the world has a fatal crash rate of 10.6, nearly four times the average. It ranked as the sixth worst vehicle overall. (The Hyundai Venue took the top spot overall, with a fatal crash rate of 13.9.) roadandtrack.com Musk got stuck on the idea that Tesla could be safe without using LIDAR, which would have increased the cost of his cars even more than they already were. He is wrong--cameras and machine learning aren't enough. Plus he oversells his car as being more capable of autonomous driving than they are. So they have more accidents than any other EV.
