### Comment:
Exactly, whenever the autopilot crash thing comes up, people look at overall security of all cars in the US, when they really should only compare the model s/x to the s class, 7 series and the like. Same thing here. Don't compare a tesla burning down to random 30 year old used cars. Compare it to the new s class.

### REPLY:
all new cars are safer than historical average. that's the whole point of progress. tesla's are safer than the national average vehicle. sure, they may not be much safer than any other $80-100k brand new luxury vehicle... nobody's saying that those are dangerous. tesla's, probably much like all the other new high-end luxury vehicles, are considerably better than the current nation-wide average vehicle.
