I suppose Elon had sacked the statisticians at Tesla and took on the role of Chief Statistician instead. 
Tesla presented misleading âFull Self-Drivingâ safety data to European regulators
Soon after the Dutch announced the decision on April 10, a Tesla policy manager, Ivan Komusanac, wrote an email to Swedish regulators asking for similar FSD approval. He attached a slide presentation displaying the exaggerated claim that Teslas using FSD can travel more than seven times farther between crashes than the average US human driver. The presentation also claimed FSD could have potentially saved 32,000 lives and prevented 1.9 million injuries.
Researchers interviewed by Reuters said those figures are highly misleading because they are based on the unrealistic assumption that every US vehicle, including freight trucks and crash-prone motorcycles, would be replaced by an FSD-enabled Tesla car â and that every Tesla car is, in fact, at least seven times safer than the one it replaces.
The Reuters examination also found Tesla exaggerates the technologyâs safety by comparing a rate of crashes in FSD-piloted Teslas that triggered airbag deployments to a US crash rate for all vehicles that includes far less-severe accidents.
The company also compares its cars to the average US vehicle â which is much older than the average Tesla. That distorts the results because automakers have gradually introduced new safety features that reduce crashes.
Several Tesla drivers wrote to Norwegian road regulators citing Teslaâs vehicle safety report last autumn. One argued the technology is âsignificantly safer than average manual driving,â with the potential to âreduce traffic accidents by up to 90 per cent and thus save lives on Norwegian roads.â
Stein-Helge Mundal of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration responded to several Tesla enthusiasts, saying Teslaâs figures âare self-producedâ, which makes it âdifficult to find correlation with the authoritiesâ accident statistics.â REUTERS
