How confident are we in the first number? Accidents usually do not happen just because on a straight road, they happen when something unexpected happens. How many unexpected cases were recorded in the first number vs the second? Because simply because of the number of teslas on the roads, I doubt many.

We're absolutely not, but Tesla fans love to repeat this quote, no matter how many times it is explained to them.

You cannot at all equate "subset of miles where AP is a possibility, be it good conditions/road/weather", where AP will turn off or not be available because it can't work, with "all the miles driven by humans in all conditions", and say in any way with a straight face, "Look, safer!". But that's what Elon, and a large number of people do.

That’s where the “per mile” part comes in.
