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.
Tesla Drivers Have the Highest Crash Rate of Any Brand
Tesla also had the lowest DUI rate. They're not intoxicated, they're just crap drivers.
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.
Yeah good point, the type of miles probably matters a lot.
