Tesla only counts accidents where the airbag have been deployed. This makes the stats very misleading as the 'United states average' count any accident reported to either police or insurance.
Also it is likely statistically biased, for example one issue is that the different drive assist systems are more likely to be used under the best driving conditions, so accidents are less likely to happen when it is turned on, because it is mostly used in the easiest of driving conditions.
Sounds like the US averages are pretty useless then. Everyone around here tries to game reports like crazy if there’s any potential benefit for them.
I’d actually prefer to see stats that generate a documented injury that was treated somewhere, rather than someone’s paint getting scraped by a poor parking job.
