Tesla FSD Safety Stats Misleading

[gnr3312]

Not so fast, this is Tesla cars compared to industry averages. This study does not differentiate if the Tesla accidents are with FSD engaged or not engaged. I suspect that it will be a long while before FSD safety statistics are compiled, if ever. Tesla would have to turn over ALL its data to an independent peer reviewer. As long as regulators ask for immature data, that is all we will ever have.

The only conclusions that I have come to are:

1. I am being ripped off paying for ALK and Innodrive. In fact, after the NE summer comes to an end, so does my subscription.
2. There are intangibles that will never be measured utilizing FSD in my lifetime. When I am feeling tired or stressed as I drive home from work, FSD is engaged routinely. When I am driving on a highway (day or night), FSD is engaged.
3. I feel safer using it, rather than not using it, especially on dark unfamiliar backroads where I am blinded by oncoming lights and FSD is not.
4. AS Nikki Lauder has said, I can tolerate 20% risk, nothing more. In certain conditions, human driving exceeds my risk tolerance.
5. I fully accept that I am a guinea pig, especially with being signed up for beta testing and advance updates. I have enough confidence in my skillset to overcome any FSD deficiencies I encounter.

Just my simple, uneducated view -- BTW, I am not a Tesla fanboy. I have owned one Tesla for a year now and many P-cars. I never appreciated how technilogically inferior P-cars were until I purchased a Tesla. Truthfully, given the price delta, it is almost criminal.

ALK and InnoDrive are a one-time charge, how are you paying a subscription? Or is that a thing in the J1.2 cars? Btw love the Nikki reference.

I believe it is a legacy thing. When I purchased my 2024 J1 4S, either an outright purchase or subscription was monthly was available. It was done away with sometime in 2025, I think. It now can only be purchased. It was my intent to turn it on and off as required. For examply, I don't drive the Taycan much during the winter because of the potholes. I understand that if I let the subscription lapse, the subscription goes away and has to be purchased, so I have kept it.
