Tesla became the brand with the highest accident death rate: Here is the ranking

The study by iSeeCars was conducted by analyzing fatality data from the US Fatal Accident Analysis Reporting System between 2017 and 2022. Accordingly, on average, Tesla vehicles 5.6 fatalities per billion vehicle miles It was determined that he had. This rate Kia’da 5.5, Buick’te 4.8 ve Dodge’da 4.4 was detected as. The average of all vehicles is 2,9 was determined as . Therefore, the death rate in Tesla accidents is twice the average. So why does this happen?

iSeeCars analysts say high fatality rates have more to do with vehicle design caused by driver behavior suggests. So, the fact that these rates are high in Tesla may be due to its user profile.

Fatal accident rate (Cars per billion vehicle miles)

1. Tesla: 5,6
2. Let’s: 5,5
3. Buick: 4,8
4. Dodge: 4,4
5. Hyundai: 3,9
6. Overall Average: 2.8

iSeeCars also published a list of the 23 car models with the highest fatality rates. At the top of the list is Hyundai’s small SUV, with an average of 13.9 deaths per billion vehicle miles, 5 times the industry average Venue It is located. After the Venue, Chevrolet Corvette ve Mitsubishi Mirage (13,6), Porsche 911 (13,2) ve Honda CR-V Hybrid (13,2) models are listed. Tesla Model Y per billion miles 10,6 It ranks sixth in deaths.

Karl Brauer, the study’s lead analyst, notes that many of the vehicles on the hit list (including the Tesla Model Y) performed very well, scoring perfect in crash tests. So these numbers don’t mean Teslas are inherently unsafe, they just can be in the wrong hands. Risky behavior, carelessness or Over-reliance on autopilot may be contributing to increased death rates.

Moreover, subcompact and compact cars are at the top of the hit list, It is worth noting that mid-size and full-size cars are below the industry average. The reason for this is the laws of physics. When a small car collides with a larger car, Since the smaller vehicle has less mass, it suffers more damage. Therefore, it is useful to evaluate the figures in the light of these data.
