Which is horseshit, because their stats don't report collisions with no airbag deployment. Nor fatalities. Hit another car at 30mph but the airbag sensor system (which these days is quite sophisticated) decides it's safer for you to just fire seatbelt tensioners than airbags...?

"Not considered a collision", says Tesla. Which also goes for "vehicle sufficiently damaged such that airbag deployment fails? Also not a collision.
