The real numbers are that in 2023, Teslas had more crashes per car than any other automaker. Teslas clocked in at 23.54 crashes per 1000 cars. The next highest was Ram, at 22.76 per 1000. Third was Subaru, at 20.90. Those were the only three automakers with numbers over 20, and Tesla is obviously above all the others by a fairly large margin.
Then when we look at incident rates, Tesla comes in second. “Incidents” also includes things like speeding, DUIs, reckless driving, and other citations. Ram came in first at 32.90 per 1000, and Tesla came in second at 31.13. So Ram owners are more likely to get pulled over and cited, but less likely to crash.
In 2023, 322 frontal wrecks (that is, wrecks where the Tesla ran directly into something) were known to have happened immediately after the Tesla disengaged its self-driving.
