Just to approach this from another angle: Teslas currently make up about 0.1% (very very roughly) of all cars in the US. From that, you’d expect around 40 fatalities per year, and increasing fast.

I doubt the extrapolation is that simple. Most fatal wrecks happen to people who are unlikely to be owning an expensive EV.
