Please stop using intentionally falsified statistics by the manufacturer to push product. NHTSA has already stated that Tesla numbers do not even make basic attempts to make the numbers comparable.
Tesla only counts crashes with pyrotechnic deployments. NHTSA has stated this only accounts for ~18% of crashes on average [1] which can be derived from publicly available datasets. No competent statistician or scientist would miss a literal 5x underestimation that is frequently mentioned by laypeople as a source of uncompensated bias and that is easily derivable from well-known public datasets. They make no attempt to account for other less easily computable or subtle forms of bias before blasting it at the top of their lungs to convince customers to risk their lives.
That is intentional falsification meant to push product and has no place in civil society.
