It’s just the latest reason to be skeptical of the car’s safety record.

    100% of the cars made at the time were recalled

    1.5 million is the sample size you need to spread the 51 deaths and incidents over

    You are arguing out of ignorance because you couldn’t be bothered to simply read my comment before replying. 1.5M is <50% of the total vehicles manufactured, not 100%. The sample size was 3,173,491 and the number of deaths was 27.

    You are fully factually wrong on your assertion above. Your data is wrong. You are wrong.

    3 fatalities happened in the same Cybertruck, so this is a grand total of 2 crashes that legitimately resulted in deaths. One just happened to have a large number of occupants.

    Even if you weren’t wrong, you’re operating under the premise that Tesla will (or would even be legally permitted to) follow the same path as Ford did 50 years ago and deny and ignore deaths to save pennies and ounces (it’s a 6500lb pickup truck, no one is counting ounces).

    There are 3 types of lies; lies, damned lies, and statistics. This is an excellent example of the third one.
