20% of vehicle crashes in the US are caused by motorcycles, and the 479kmi number includes those. The statistics have always been misleading for Tesla to use those numbers to compare vehicle safety. When comparing just luxury cars, Teslas have far more fatalities than other cars in the same price range.

Important to note that this data on the fatality rate was put together by a known short seller and is from before the model 3 was released which has the lowest probably of injury of any vehicle ever tested by the NHTSA. Also before many improvements have been made to both the model s, 3 and x software and hardware over the years.

Do you have a source about the motorcycles being included?
