Tesla drivers had 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers, a study found. Tesla recently recalled 2 million vehicles over problems with its autonomous driving functionality.

    This seems to be getting promoted and changed to slant opinion. The study is on “incident” rate, which includes accidents, DUIs, citations, and speeding, but is definitely not just accidents. It also says Tesla has the second worst drivers, by incident rate,behind Dodge.

    I couldn’t find any specific data they used about why speeding and citations are separate and am wondering if it is because Teslas have more communication about statistics than other manufacturers that don’t have digital data and OTA capability.

    When I tried to find the actual study lending tree did, I couldn’t find it, but found several other insurance company studies that didn’t list Tesla in their Top 5 most accidents. If anyone actually sees this study or any others that confirm it, let me know.
