I can't speak to the other brands. But per https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport, Teslas are averaging about 1/3 the odds of an accident per million miles of other cars. Unfortunately the autopilot figures there are misleading since autopilot only goes on for the safest kinds of driving.

Why? Sensors and maneuverability matter. Being hit by a Tesla may be worse, but it does a lot to avoid hitting you.

not a huge Tesla fan, but they adhere to the road and a breath to drive. The best car for me will still be my grandfather's Xantia (sadly retired now), but compared to tally city car or huge SUVs, a Tesla is rather nice.

I drove a SUV not that long ago on a country road, i now understand why it tends to have more accident than a regular car, especially if you drive fast on a curvy road.

To some degree. It’s also because because Teslas are new cars driven by affluent, youngish people.
