This person is clearly deluded. The correct metric is fatal accident per 100k miles driven and OF COURSE volume matters.

If volume matters then we are painting a worse situation for Tesla since they sold less than volvo

Last year (2021) Volvo sold 698693 cars, and that's including all of their models, not just electric.

Tesla sold 936222, which is obviously significantly more than Volvo.

No we don't, if we compare normalised numbers (per mile driven) rather than unadjusted ones.

How do they know much miles have been driven by a car? What if a person does it own car maintenance? Not sure, if that's a much better approach
