It's just the latest reason to be skeptical of the car's safety record.

Assuming they ever even sell a million of them before ending production.

You don't think there's anything magical about the number "a million", though, correct? Just "enough to form a sufficiently good sample size" (whatever your threshold might be.)

Are you a fan of Tesla?

I’m a fan of rational thought processes and statistics...

I can't help but notice you dodged my question.

Sure.

I didn't dodge it, I chose not to engage because you're looking to attack my character and derail the conversation rather than discussing the merit of my statements.

For those spending this much time explaining that an N=4 being statistically conclusive (LOL), perhaps your time would have been better used if you looked into how badly the pinto data was cherry picked (1626 deaths in 2.5 years):
