Yep, I can't use this statistic for anything if it can't compare to totals. I'm assuming that teslas, as a whole brand, outnumbers ford pinto, a single model, by at least 10x.

Mor than 3 million Pintos were sold and all Tesla models combined are under 10 million

With this in mind, the fatality rate is roughly the same (so far)

That would be a shockingly bad statistic for Tesla to be on par with a Pinto. Yikes
