So the article's source has been updated. Tesla was number 1 in the last year's report (2024's numbers) but it's number 3 now (2025's numbers).

Source used by the article you shared

TLDR: It's a close battle between BMW (44.9 per 1000), Ram (44.7 per 1000), and Telsa (42.8 per 1000)

EDIT: "That includes accidents, DUIs, speeding and citations" If you instead just isolate accident rates it's slightly different: Ram (23.9 per 1000), Subaru (23.2), and Tesla (23.1).

I should clarify that I'm not a fan of Tesla AT ALL. I'd love to see Tesla fail (in particular Elon failing especially). There's more electric car's than just Tesla's.

    It probably has more to do with the people that buy BMWs, Rams, and Teslas driving like fucking idiots than with the cars themselves.

    I was about to say that when I am near a tesla, bmw, or ram truck I anticipate them driving like jackasses. teslas can go both ways though, either unnecessarily slow or crazy bmw style impatient driving
