When the opening line is "Just days after Tesla was forced to recall nearly every car it ever made over safety issues involving its Autopilot system..", it's hard to take the rest of the article seriously. The "recall" is actually the NHTSA pushing Tesla to change how they monitor drivers. "The fix will be deployed to roughly two million cars via an over-the-air update that should prevent owners from tricking the system." from TFA's link.

The linked LendingTree article actually says "Across 30 car brands analyzed, Ram has the worst drivers. Nationally, Ram drivers had 32.90 driving incidents (accidents, DUIs, speeding and citations) per 1,000 drivers from Nov. 14, 2022, through Nov. 14, 2023. Tesla (31.13) and Subaru (30.09) were the only other brands whose drivers had incident rates above 30.00.". Without further breakdown of accident/incident types and segmentation by gender & age, TheDrive's article is just wild speculation.
