Tesla's vehicle safety record
http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=25938
But that thread remains locked, due to a MNL administrator's abuse of his responsibilities.
Another USA TSLA driver death (likely to have been fatal in most all vehicles) was recently reported:
Woman dies when chunk of concrete falls on Tesla

This driver death, which looks to be the 13th reported for Tesla S and X models in the USA, has not yet been added to the list below:

So the
reported TSLA driver USA death rate now is three to four times that of comparably expensive vehicles, and also of Nissan LEAFs/Chevy Volts, as reported on the previous IIHS databases.
If there is a significant underreport rate for USA driver TSLA fatalities, future IIHS results will of course, eventually look even worse for Teslas.

Ed, you are active on the site and no one is stopping you from posting in relevant threads as you just did.
When MNL recently closed a thread for the expressed purpose of suppressing vehicle safety information for current and potential BEV drivers, and MNL administration refused to reply to my warnings, I stopped making my regular posts on conversational topics.
I intend to continue to post on BEV safety issues.
As I said previously, If i were to
lie by omission by not pointing out life-threatening events (in this case, driving a Tesla S or X) would place me in ~the same degenerate condition the cultists who deny the facts regarding TSLA's safety record,
have already put themselves.
Off-topic:
I may also occasionally post on my
reality-based observations on the capabilities of my eight-capacity-bar-2011 as long as I continue to drive it, as MNL's prevailing idiocy of relying on LBC readings is certainly the greatest factor impairing Nissan LEAF use, and I seem to be the only driver remaining from the early deliveries who has monitored my LEAF's
actual battery condition and driving range from delivery, to date.
... ~115.2 miles on a single charge for the second leg of this trip pushes it right up to my personal comfort range for my eight-capacity-bar 2011.
Since this last trip illustrates why only fools take LBC reports of battery condition and available capacity seriously, I'll add some more details...
