Electric Vehicles

Still, not trying to be pedantic here but terminology is important. Seems like you’re talking about quality or reliability.

Generally

• safety ratings are government or independent tests on newly manufactured cars. The goal is to detect design issues. Tesla has always had very high safety ratings
• quality or reliability is how these cars hold up over time. The goal is to detect manufacturing issues and places where too many compromises are made. There are many places attempting to do this and one source may be annual safety inspections. Teslas used to have some very well publicized quality issues that would show up here. Early model s and model X were effectively hand made, and they took a couple years to stabilize model 3 manufacturing. As far as I know they are similar to other manufacturers now (except of course the Cybertruck), but I’d certainly expect historical data to not be as forgiving.
• accident data is real life results in how they’re used. In this case we have way too many streamers misusing teslas self-driving feature, convincing others it’s more capable than even Tesla claims, that probably contributes. But I believe it’s also the sheer acceleration. It used to be the Mustang that was stereotypically more acceleration than drivers can handle, but we may have that here as well. Every Tesla has outstanding acceleration and of course you’d try it. It will be more than you expect: can you handle it?

Edit to add

• insurance data generally determines repairability. We see that for a variety of reasons teslas are expensive to repair. Some of it’s the design, some the materials, some the plethora of tech, and some is availability of parts, and the lack of third party parts
