  • Tesla.

    Even before Musk went full mask-off, they only had a single practical vehicle- the Model Y.

    Model S and X are priced like super cars.

    Model 3 is impractical, being a Sedan/Saloon with a fixed rear wall behind the rear seats (it’s not a hatchback)

    Model Y is the only one that’s both practical and mildly affordable (it’s still overpriced) - but you’d be better served by a BYD Atto3 for a third of (~AU$35k) the price and the same build quality.

    (Atto1 is about a quarter of the price AU$24k vs. AU$96k, but it’s not the same build quality, Atto1 is built-to-a-price and that price is low…) (none of the listed prices are drive-away)








  • According to a chart in Tesla’s Q4 2025 earnings report showing cumulative robotaxi miles, the fleet has traveled approximately 500,000 miles as of November 2025. That works out to roughly one crash every 55,000 miles.

    For comparison, human drivers in the United States average approximately one police-reported crash every 500,000 miles, according to NHTSA data.

    That means Tesla’s robotaxis are crashing at a rate 9 times higher than the average human driver.

    That comparison requires there only be a single RoboTaxi though… It’s a faulty comparison.

    Tesla’s Robotaxis suck, but you don’t have to go about making questionable statistics to show that.
