The Tesla safety report has never been a good-faith attempt at communicating their stats.
They compare Teslas to every single other vehicle on the road. The average Tesla owner is already in a demographic that would have dramatically lower accident rates than the average. The average age of a Tesla vehicle also dramatically lowers it. Then you add in the fact AP is skewed towards highway use and disengages in tricky situations...
Before you even factor in AP you're already starting with the picture Tesla wants to paint.
