Why do we trust Tesla’s figures? Elon is a pathological liar.

Independently collected evidence that does not rely on Tesla shows that Tesla’s are not safe.

This is FUD. You must pay attention at all times when using Autopilot, the car begs you to do so. Not paying attention is equivalent to setting cruise control in any other vehicle and closing your eyes.

Tesla runs ads saying that their cars drive itself and they don’t need a driver.

Can you provide an example? I genuinely haven’t seen that but I live a relatively advertisement-free lifestyle. As a Tesla owner, I’ve never heard that from anyone in real life either.

While it’s always easy to blame irresponsible drivers, when you market your product as “full self driving”, the behavioral consequences of that decision are obvious, and yes, you share in the blame for the carnage you helped create.

Autopilot is not FSD. I agree the advertising of FSD is poor, but the FSD you’re thinking of is in beta, opt-in only, and also tries to force you to pay attention.

He doesn’t need to lie when he can just choose what to release - if they’re not releasing deaths per million miles, it’s because the numbers aren’t as favourable.
