I find it really interesting/surprising that Tesla topped the fatalities per mile ranking from 2018-2022.
Fatality rate is strongly negatively correlated with price and weight and Teslas are much more expensive and heavier than average.
The commentary I've seen says that the cars are safe so it must be about Tesla drivers, but per https://danluu.com/car-safety/, maybe it's also about the cars. The most fatal manufacturers (Kia/Hyundai, Dodge, Tesla) that were rated all rank poorly there as well.
