> Has Tesla provided any evidence which shows evidence that they are in fact far beyond competitors?

Evidence showing they are ahead in terms of customers? For now, maybe. In terms of safety? No.

According to some fans, they sell a product you control. You're allowed to use it anywhere, therefore, they're ahead.

According to Tesla, they designed a chip that's best-in-class and they share a small amount of safety data quarterly [1]. Musk will not share any more data [2] because that would allow people to "turn a positive into a negative".

Thanks for the links. Their "Vehicle Safety Report" is literally 3 sentences! I expected such a report to have much more detailed information in it.
