Comparing modern Tesla crashes per mile to the average cars of all ages is dishonest. Due to modern safety equipment, a better comparison would be, comparing modern cars to Teslas. The majority of AP miles are completed in safe of driving conditions, skewing the stats. https://cdan.dot.gov/databook/databook.htm#

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1851980196955484385
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
