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.
Seems like a lot of hot air with zero sense if you now claim you didn’t mean tesla. I mean even if you meant tesla, as I already reasoned above.
In both cases your comment only makes sense as a misdirection or an honest mistake. But you’re definitely not acknowledging it, so I would lean to the former.
My comment was that there is likely bias in the data because it’s people applying to one of those sites that compare insurance costs. I think it’s likely most people who are doing that regularly are people in high risk groups - their insurance rates are high, so they’re looking for some other company. Their insurance rates are high because they are risky drivers.
The data are not based on crash statistics, which would be the most reliable indicator, or tickets issued, or any other similar results. The people using this tool are not randomly selected, either.
In other words, it’s anecdotal data at best, and possibly biased toward people with high premiums because of issues in their driving record.
I’m not defending Tesla drivers or anyone else. In my very first sentence, I noted that own one of the vehicles (Ram) that is supposedly the second worst, and I also own one of the vehicles that is the best (Mercury).
I’m simply pointing out that this dataset may have serious flaws and shouldn’t be used to draw real conclusions.
Your obsession with Tesla is clouding your reading ability or something.
No, definitely not.
Can you tell me what your argument was then?

I have no idea where you’re getting Tesla from.

Again, the conclusion still makes sense if you only use this data set.
Tesla drivers are the worst offenders compared to the worst offenders.
your logic to jump to their defence doesn’t apply here.
