Just to be clear, the numbers in the parent comments were "3 per year" and "101 per day", so the ratio there is 12288:1. There are approximately 250e6 registered vehicles in the US, so if all the Tesla-related fatalities are those "3 per year" (which seems unlikely to me; it assumes that there are no Teslas involved in fatal accidents when the automatic driving stuff is not engaged) to be disproportionate there would have to be only ~21000 Teslas on the roads. There are close to an order of magnitude more than that at this point. |

This site seems to be an interesting aggregation of Tesla deaths: https://www.tesladeaths.com/ It claims 29 deaths in the US from Teslas in 2019; 3 are from accidents where auto pilot use was claimed.
