I’m having a hard time understanding this article. They say the Teslas have the highest rating of deadly accidents, but then go on to say Tesla ranked #6 on the list of fatalities, then once again stated Tesla was the worst. So what happened to the other five vehicles that had a higher fatality rating?
The way I understood it is the highest rate of deadly accidents refers to “5.6 fatal accidents per billion miles traveled” by the brand overall. The number 6 rating refers to the Model S specifically.

Go to the actual report. There is one table for the top fatalities by vehicle model and another for the top average fatalities by manufacturer.

Ah thank you, that DOES make more sense.
They don’t get clicks.
