It is fantastically optimistic to attribute Teslas horrific stats to the cars being speedy

For instance the model y had a fatality rate of 10.6 per billion vehicle miles 4x the average.

Its also seems unreasonable to suppose that they are poorly suited to survive a crash as this doesn't seem to be indicated.

A more logical conclusion is that a box with a giant flashing distracting tablet in the center which lies and says it can drive itself gets crashed more because people are functionally incapable of going from passenger to driver at random intervals with no notice.
