    Just wanted to add to the discussion: Tesla's definition of a "crash" is different from what everybody else uses. Tesla counts all incidents where an airbag deployed as a crash, most other agencies count any incident where a police report or insurance claim was made as a crash. This article talks about all of the problems with Tesla's self-reported safety data - those numbers are absolutely cherry picked to paint the rosiest picture possible.
