    The same logic can explain why Teslas crash so often. You turn on all the assists, and eventually forget how to change gears.

      I haven’t seen any statistics suggesting Teslas crash more often than other vehicles.

          23.54 crashes per 1,000 drivers in the past year.

          If someone cared about actually comparing this, they’d normalize for the number of miles driven, instead of cherry-picking something so it sounds bad.

          This is disengenuous.

            Teslas aren’t exactly long-range rural cars. Correcting for mileage would only increase the crash rates.

            However, being city cars, they probably have high operational hours.
