A lack of accidents doesn’t make a vehicle safer. It just means that there aren’t as many on the road.

I don’t have the numbers, couldn’t really find anything online, but I’m sure the number of Tesla’s on the road is a fraction of Toyota’s

From the comments: „it's just a dated way to conduct a study on vehicle safety. they only looked at the crash -> injury relation. based on that from a scientific perspective teslas omission from the study makes sense.“

They aren't saying that Tesla isn't safe. They are saying there isn't enough crash data to have it in the list.

Sensational. Should be *safest car in a collision.” Given so few collisions, they are unwilling to make an evaluation.
