This is based on a sample size of 8
One would expect such a small sample size to lower the crash rates. But tesla is subverting expectations yet again.
A small sample size would just make the prediction highly uncertain, could be way better or way worse.
However others have made the observation that it's reasonable to consider the miles driven as the sample size, and at over 300,000 miles, it is a bit more credible sounding.
