Tesla drivers had 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers, a study found. Tesla recently recalled 2 million vehicles over problems with its autonomous driving functionality.
(Verse 1)
Sitting in the cab of my old pickup truck,
Memories rollin’ by, like the miles we used to clock.
Drove through the sunset, with you by my side,
Never thought a metal heart could take me for a ride.
(Chorus)
We were a highway love, wind in our hair,
Haulin’ dreams together, an inseparable pair.
But now you’re gone, and it’s just my luck,
My darlin’ left me, a self-driving truck.
(Verse 2)
We hauled our troubles down those lonesome roads,
Your engine hummed the tunes, while our story unfolds.
Loaded up with laughter, and baggage too,
Little did I know, you had a route of your own to pursue.
(Chorus)
We were a highway love, wind in our hair,
Haulin’ dreams together, an inseparable pair.
But now you’re gone, and it’s just my luck,
My darlin’ left me, a self-driving truck.
(Bridge)
I miss the way your headlights cut through the night,
The hum of your engine, our rhythm just right.
But now the road is empty, just echoes of our song,
You found a new destination, I guess I got it wrong.
(Verse 3)
We parked under stars, shared secrets in the dark,
But now it’s just silence, an abandoned truck stop.
I’m left with memories, and a tank full of regret,
A self-driving heartbreak, I’ll never forget.
(Chorus)
We were a highway love, wind in our hair,
Haulin’ dreams together, an inseparable pair.
But now you’re gone, and it’s just my luck,
My darlin’ left me, a self-driving truck.
(Outro)
So here I am, parked on this lonely track,
Wishing you’d come back, but you won’t look back.
You rolled away, with gears that don’t feel,
Left me stranded, at the crossroads of steel.
(Verse 1)
Sitting in the cab of my old pickup truck,
Memories rollin’ by, like the miles we used to clock.
Drove through the sunset, with you by my side,
Never thought a metal heart could take me for a ride.
(Chorus)
We were a highway love, wind in our hair,
Haulin’ dreams together, an inseparable pair.
But now you’re gone, and it’s just my luck,
My darlin’ left me, a self-driving truck.

We were a highway love, wind in our hair,
Haulin’ dreams together, an inseparable pair.
But now you’re gone, and it’s just my luck,

I think there might be something to be said here for some potential selection bias. Are Tesla drivers like ram drivers, overly aggressive idiots but with the added layer of being relatively new tech?
The Forbes article seems to be citing numbers that are now a few weeks out of date. They cite that Tesla drivers have 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers and Ram has 22.76. If you go to their source link you’ll see that the more recent numbers are Tesla: 31.13 and Ram: 32.90.
Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate. From Nov. 14, 2022, through Nov. 14, 2023, Tesla drivers had 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers. Ram (22.76)
Accidents only. Worst driver counts DUIs a d fines as well.
Where I live Audi’s drivers are the worst. It’s like they are for losers that would like to do some posturing but can’t afford a Mercedes and their frustrations manifest themselves in their stupid driving style.
I had a friend years ago with Dodge Ram van. He said, “it says Dodge in the front because that’s what you’re supposed to do when you see it coming and Ram in the back because you didn’t read the warning on the front.”
Worth noting that “Ram” is now its own brand, divorced from Dodge, and they only make 1 vehicle, while other trucks are sold as part of the Ford and Chevy lineup. So it’s probable those other vehicles are bringing up the safety ratings of, say F150 and Silverado.
The fact that Ram drivers are a close second is hilarious. I guess there is some truth to all the jokes about Rams being driven by aggressive idiots.
Aggressive drunk* idiots. Statistically.
At least Tesla owners can blame it on the computer. 🤣
“It appears the fault was located between the drivers seat and steering wheel, sir”
Good ole close the ticket with message “PEBKAC”
What was it? 25% more likely to have a DUI record?
1 in 22

I am still waiting for the inevitable country music song about a broken hearted cowboy whose self driving car leaves him for another man.
Weird Al should be all over this.

YES!
Fuck, I actually have a decent singing voice, no guitar though.
Lets find someone with a guitar and make this a stupid spotify single or something.
I read that as Weird Artificial Intelligence. Probably because of the context, since it never occured to me to read it like that before.

Ram in MA is 64.44 and I want these fucking things outlawed.
Read the source more carefully
Accidents only. Worst driver counts DUIs a d fines as well.
Why does Massachusetts have such aggressive drivers? That seems like a large deviation for such a small state
It doesn’t it has a shit ton of ice and snow
Maybe in the Berkshires? The Boston area doesn’t get to much snow, and I would bet that is where most of the accidents are.
It’s mostly urban though. 7 million isn’t that small and it shouldn’t affect something expressed as a rate anyway.
I moved here and am still asking that question myself. Only in mass do people honk if you dare to stop for a stop sign.
It’s it the Ram that’s the problem, or the driver that also likes to cover the Ram in Infowars bumper stickers?
Where I live Audi’s drivers are the worst. It’s like they are for losers that would like to do some posturing but can’t afford a Mercedes and their frustrations manifest themselves in their stupid driving style.
They don’t have a Mercedes because the EQS is not aspirational, as MB recently declared in relation to the lackluster sales of the series.
There just expensive and brands expect people to fork out crazy amounts of cash for these cars.
“If you can’t Dodge it, Ram it”
I see why Stellantis spun Ram into its own brand now.
I had a friend years ago with Dodge Ram van. He said, “it says Dodge in the front because that’s what you’re supposed to do when you see it coming and Ram in the back because you didn’t read the warning on the front.”
I wonder what that says about my Dodge Sprinter…
Worth noting that “Ram” is now its own brand, divorced from Dodge, and they only make 1 vehicle, while other trucks are sold as part of the Ford and Chevy lineup. So it’s probable those other vehicles are bringing up the safety ratings of, say F150 and Silverado.
“I am driving a lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK”
"My lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK has BLINDING WHITE LED headlights positioned EXACTLY at EYE LEVEL. "
“I am currently TAILGATING you in the RIGHT LANE even though you’re going TWENTY MILES AN HOUR over the speed limit and the LEFT LANE is OPEN.”
“There are MONSTER ENERGY and FOX RACING stickers on the rear windshield of my lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK.”
“There are PERFECTLY CLEAN mud tires and MASSIVE CHROME RIMS on my lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK.”
“I make THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS a year and thought that that was a WISE FINANCIAL DECISION.”
“I bring cases of BUD LIGHT to girls at high school parties while my wife and children are at home.”
“My lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK has a GUN RACK which holds the AR-15 that I bought at WAL-MART.”
At that point is seems like a good idea to replace human drivers.
Exactly, bring in much more public transportation. It would solve so many problems.
Oh definitely! I barely drive my car these days.
