What does this stat mean? Are Teslas just better handling and safer cars, or is this just a stat that indicates that people with more money tend to be more cautious drivers?
The article also says that Porsche owners crash more.
So I think this just shows a correlation between choice of car and type of person, which is not a new discovery...
The stat compares the crash rate per miles driven of drivers who have a Tesla and another car, finding a lower crash rate when the same person is driving the Tesla versus their other car (on average).
It still depends on who buys a Porsche, a Tesla, etc, and possibly what car they already have.
