They also crash way more often[1] and have disproportionally more deaths[2].

The first link is for people looking for insurance quotes, not actual crash data

Link 2 is about deaths. Let's find the death rate per registered car years from the NHTSA's data.

For all 2020 vehicles it's 38 per million, for midsize luxury, 23, Tesla Model 3 2WD: 15, 4WD: 52

For large luxry: Model S 4WD 17, vs 22 average
