It's stupid to use a benchmark on a fancy premium vehicle versus the entire market.

Joe Schmuck who didn't replace his tires and was driving home after a 12 hour shift when his brakes failed and he died counts as much as a guy in a luxury vehicle that drives under a semi.

Thanks - this kind of friendly and helpful advice is the only way I'll learn.

I can't work out what point you're trying to make here, other than perhaps implying that the statistics I cited, from the source I cited, don't accurately represent your opinion about some subset of the driving population.

GP wanted, but could not look for, comparative figures. These were provided. If you want to argue the legitimacy of them, let's do that - show me (other) numbers.

The actuarial data (lifetime income potential, etc) that compensation claims are based off of that determine the worth of human life says no.

Joe Schmuck should get the same safety features. To do so, you must drive down per unit costs through scale. I bought our Teslas because expensive cars need to get sold to pay for cheaper cars.
