Tesla Has the Highest Fatal Accident Rate of All Auto Brands, Study Finds

46. That makes a lot of sense.

Problem 1: Teslas are among the heaviest cars on the road. Tesla doesn't make a car that weighs less than two tons. They're slightly lighter than a Ford F-150 pickup.

Problem 2: Teslas are very fast and very quick - there's a difference.

Add 1 and 2 together and you're looking at a lot of kinetic energy, a lot of which is going to wind up in you if you hit something hard enough.

Problem 3: A lot of Teslas are sold on the promise they drive themselves. They tell you not to go out on the road in these cars if you're not holding the steering wheel and looking through the windshield to ensure you don't rear-end a school bus or something, but you just know a bunch of people who have these are thinking they can play Candy Crush while the car drives itself.
