Yes, you're correct. From source:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) cautioned against using the numbers to compare automakers, saying it did not weight them by the number of vehicles from each manufacturer or how many miles those vehicles traveled.

I'm trying to find the Tesla:others ratio, but that's proving a bit difficult.

A bit of a moot point in my eyes as I consider all 400 accidents unacceptable, but you are right, I shouldn't use stats just to shit on Tesla.
