    But you can’t base a fact on one accident. Or even multiple. What if newspapers like to write especially about Tesla accidents to generate clicks?

    Teslas seemingly have a lot of accidents, but without checking the statistics and comparing it to other manufacturers you wouldn’t really know if the perceived truth is a fact or not.

      You’re right, but the automobile industy is too opaque to do this kind of study. Maybe the insurance companies have this data, but they.are not sharing it.

      In the absence of such data we have to make do with what we have. What we are seeing are a lot of examples where Tesla’s are clearly doing irrational things and failing miserably. Youtube is not full of Mercedes cars failing miserably, eventhough there are a lot more Mercedes cars on the road.

        The data is widely available and has been provided to you several times in this thread. You just refuse to accept it because it goes against your prior beliefs.

        A person clearly can’t be reasoned out of a belief they weren’t reasoned into.
