The Medium article referenced points out the difficulties in getting accurate up to date information out of the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) database. The survey described in the article include data about the Model 3.

Also, they're shorting Tesla. They say that their position on Tesla is due to their research (as opposed to the outcome of their research being driven by their attitude), and that's fair. Nonetheless, I'd be as skeptical of their claim that Teslas are significantly more dangerous than average as I am of Musk's claim that full autonomy will be available and safe before 2020.
