I like the principles and I do like my Tesla Model 3.

"The study's authors make clear that the results do not indicate Tesla vehicles are inherently unsafe or have design flaws." ...

"So, why are Teslas — and many other ostensibly safe cars on the list — involved in so many fatal crashes? “The models on this list likely reflect a combination of driver behavior and driving conditions, leading to increased crashes and fatalities,” iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer said in the report. “A focused, alert driver, traveling at a legal or prudent speed, without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is the most likely to arrive safely regardless of the vehicle they’re driving."

Model 3 not on the list.

There aren't a lot of details on the methodology. I'd like to see someone else crunch the numbers.
