Witnesses say the brake lights never came on as the Tesla rapidly ran through an intersection and into a concrete wall, killing everyone inside.
Two people were killed in a single-car crash in Pelham Manor when a Tesla struck a wall and caught fire. It happened at the intersection of Shore and Pelhamdale roads around 9:15 a.m.. Police say the Tesla went through an intersection on Shore Road before striking a wall and catching fire.
This is very similar to many other Tesla tragedies we have seen before around the world. Design failures are suspected.
Key Observations: Data clearly shows that both serious incidents (orange line) and fatal incidents (pink line) are increasing at a steeper rate than the fleet size growth (blue line). This is particularly evident from 2021 onwards, where: Fleet size (blue) shows a linear growth of about 1x per year. Serious incidents (orange) show an exponential growth curve, reaching nearly 5x by 2024. Fatal incidents (pink) also show a steeper-than-linear growth, though not as dramatic as serious incidents. The divergence between the blue line (fleet growth) and the incident lines (orange and pink) indicates that incidents are indeed accelerating faster than the production/deployment of new vehicles.
