You're Being Lied to About Electric Cars

I was looking at the study used in the demographic study and found an article stating that Tesla, not the Tesla drivers, are the deadliest car brand with a fatality rate of 5.6 accidents per billion vehicle miles traveled. The data used came from NHTSA and was compiled by iseecars to come to this conclusion. It only includes fatality data.

If you look at the Lending Tree study that uses drivers involved in accidents, which shows Tesla drivers at fault and not the Tesla, then look at the fatalities data knowing it isn't the Tesla but the driver, a person could argue that these fatalities are driver caused and not the brands cause.

Tesla named 'The Deadliest Car Brand in America', NHTSA data shows

Will you be surprised? Here’s a hint: It’s an American automaker.

iSeeCars speculates that the biggest contributor to the fatality rates at a brand level is driver behavior, rather than vehicle design or size. “A focused, alert driver, traveling at a legal or prudent speed, without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is the most likely to arrive safely regardless of the vehicle they’re driving,”

When you say "they" you are talking about the underwriters. The first actual person you would speak to is a licensed agent who gathers the information you give and then turns that information over to an underwriter that has access to your information.

How is the demographic study bogus ? So far the reason I think you are giving is because you say so.

I actually give merit to the demographic study as it provides the information to make a conclusion that the average Tesla buyer is a middle age white man that has be ability to drive 0-60 in 2 seconds while using FSD to drive distracted. This type of driver in a Tesla actually has the means to have an accident.

Dave, the only thing you've brought up that might be right is the type of quote. Other than that it's the same crap you always post.

I don't know what demographic study, or licensed agent, you are referring to. They used insurance quote requests with self-reported accident data submitted online by potential customers.

Bill, get a grip, and get some help, it will all turn out OK.
