35. M3 is the cheap one. Less likely for people to pay big bucks

for the "fully self-driving" (a complete misnomer) subscription. FSD is probably involved in far more accidents than owners or the company admits because the Tesla owner base is mostly fan boys who want to believe that garbage actually works. The truth is, it is a real danger to everybody on the road.

I agree with you, there isn't an obvious reason why either the 3 or Y should have such a bad record. Other than the (literally) killer app with FSD, the cars should not be particularly dangerous.
