By any chance, do you know what ANOVA is? What would happen if you were to apply it to a sample of Tesla incidents per passenger mile and a sample of every other saloon with a combustion engine¹?
I think your problem may be that you are confusing "safe" with "safer". You can make a statement about the former as it is an intrinsic proposition, but not about the latter in the form that you seem to be trying to.

4WD (coming), adaptive cruise control (coming), adaptive high beam, blind spot warning, infrared camera with pedestrian detection (could live without), forward looking camera (definitely can live without), plus certain ergonomic improvements such as a control wheel (safer than pure touchscreen IMO). Essentially, most of the stuff my current ride has, minus the engine noise. :-)
¹ Yes, I am aware of a number of other problems with this experiment from a stochastic point of view. :-)
