Damages from a single death have a relatively low cap unless the victim was making a lot of money. Lost sales is generally a much larger issue.

Tesla drivers do tend to be higher earners than average.

300k * 20x = 6 million. Not chump change, but not going to do much to Tesla.

A CEO making 15 million / year is another story.
