Tesla releases record of crashes with and without autopilot engaged in Q4 2021
TwitterWhatsappLinkedin

Tesla releases records for Q4 2021 which show that when the autopilot was engaged, for every 4.31 million miles driven there was one crash. And when the autopilot was not engaged, for every 1.59 miles driven there was one crash. This significant difference could also be for the fact that only limited Tesla vehicle owners use the autopilot now. Especially since there has been the introduction of safety scores to have autopilot option.

While that was the case with Q4, the previous quarter results showed that for every 4.97 million miles driven with autopilot, there was one crash. And for vehicles without autopilot, there was one crash for every 1.6 miles driven. To get an idea of the overall crashes in the United States, NHTSA reported that for every  484,000 miles driven there was one crash. This data is for regular vehicles without any autopilot. Furthermore, the data shows that an estimated 20,160 people died from January to June in 2021 from US motor vehicle crashes. The numbers have increased by 20% since 2020 and this is the highest since 2006.

Tesla vehicles safety reports

Many times these safety reports show a positive aspect of using Tesla vehicles. Also, the company claims that the crash damage is relatively lower for Model S, Model X, and Model 3 vehicles. The data is also confirmed as the  US government’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) tested these vehicles and showed the lowest overall probability of injury of any vehicle tested by them.

Furthermore, there are times when many YouTubers test the vehicle and see how much the car can get damaged. There are various interesting videos where Tesla vehicles are compared with other EVs and Tesla vehicles continue to prove to be much safer options. Just last week, Tesla China explained how the cars’ designs and the materials used to build them make the company’s vehicles safe. The video, which is quite extensive at eight minutes, provided details on how Tesla goes above and beyond to ensure the safety of its vehicles’ passengers.

A 5-Star safety rating in every category is just a starting point for further progress. Tesla will always surpass and set higher safety standards.

The video explains how Tesla vehicles are made of “super-high-strength” thermal forming steel at a certain location of the vehicle. Such that went the accident occurs, the cabins can withstand the strong force. The materials engineer noted from Giga Shanghai, “The unibody casting door frame actually uses the strongest armor-class steel in the industry. It is formed using unibody casting so the whole side of the car is protected by ultra-strength steel. It makes sure that the passengers can still open the door while escaping a collision,”

Though the cars made in the US and China are different, the making and the model of the vehicles are similar. The vehicles made in China are replicated by how Tesla operates in the US, except that the materials used are usually locally (or nearby) acquired materials.

Dodge Pauses Entry-Level Charger Daytona R/T for 2026 Amid Shifting Market and Tariff Pressures

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will not be part of the 2026 model year lineup, according to Dodge CEO Matt McAlear. While Dodge hasn’t completely ruled out the trim’s return in the future, the automaker has officially postponed its production for now. The reason? A combination of market shifts and uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies. "Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies,” McAlear said in a statement to Motor1. Instead, Dodge will sharpen its focus on high-performance offerings, like the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and upcoming internal combustion alternatives. Scat Pack Takes Center Stage With the R/T trim off the table, the Daytona Scat Pack now becomes the sole all-electric Charger variant available for 2026. And it’s no slouch. Delivering 670 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, the Scat Pack is targeting mid-11-second quarter-mile times. However, the performance comes at the cost of range, 241 miles per the EPA estimate, a step down from the R/T’s 308 miles. That boost in performance also brings a steeper price tag. The Scat Pack will sit around $60,000 after factoring in the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. In contrast, the now-shelved R/T was expected to be a more accessible entry point to the electric muscle segment, slipping in under $50,000 with the same tax break. Lagging Sales, Overstuffed Lots Market data supports Dodge’s decision. Charger sales fell by a staggering 54 percent in 2024. The first-quarter sales of electric Chargers in 2025 totaled just 1,947 units, a mix of both R/T and Scat Pack trims. Meanwhile, Mopar Insiders reported that approximately 3,500 R/T units are still sitting unsold in dealer inventories. This lukewarm reception has highlighted a broader issue: despite the impressive specs, the brand’s electric offerings haven’t captured the hearts of traditional Dodge enthusiasts, many of whom remain loyal to internal combustion. The Sixpack Rises To address this, Dodge is introducing a new four-door variant, the Charger Sixpack, aimed at muscle fans not quite ready to embrace electrification. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, the Sixpack will be available in both standard-output (420 hp) and high-output (550 hp) trims. Though exact pricing hasn’t been revealed, it's expected to slot in around the price point previously held by the R/T. The new platform, STLA Large, is designed to support both EVs and ICE models, giving Dodge flexibility to pivot as demand dictates. Looking Ahead While the Charger Daytona R/T may be gone for now, its future isn’t completely off the table. Dodge is keeping a close eye on market dynamics, government policies, and consumer behavior as it fine-tunes its approach. With the Scat Pack holding the electric torch and the Six Pack catering to combustion purists, Dodge’s strategy appears focused on streamlining its offerings while covering both sides of the propulsion spectrum. As more details about the 2026 Charger lineup emerge, muscle car fans and industry watchers alike will be paying close attention. The muscle car isn’t dead, it’s just adapting.
