In total, NHTSA investigated 956 crashes, starting in January 2018 and extending all the way until August 2023. Of those crashes, some of which involved other vehicles striking the Tesla vehicle, 29 people died. There were also 211 crashes in which “the frontal plane of the Tesla struck a vehicle or obstacle in its path.” These crashes, which were often the most severe, resulted in 14 deaths and 49 injuries.

At least in 2023, Teslas had more crashes per car than any other automaker. There were only three automakers with over 20 crashes per 1000 cars - Tesla, Ram, and Subaru. And Tesla was at the top of the list, with 23.54 per 1000. The next highest was Ram with 22.76 per 1000.
