That "vehicle safety report" is 70 words, none of which answer the question of "how many crashes were there" or "how many people were injured or killed." One of the few numbers they give us, the percentage of incidents/hour for driving "with active safety but without autopilot," bounces around by like a factor of two from quarter to quarter, which doesn't make any sense. Literally every provided number is in Tesla's favor, and context is only provided in ways favorable to Tesla.
This is a press release, not a safety report.
How? The only problem with this page[0] is that they haven’t released 2022 stats. Otherwise:
> To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact, and we count all crashes in which the incident alert indicated an airbag or other active restraint deployed.
