Are .02% of all car drivers injured every year by road debris which punctures the cabin from the underside of the car? Because that's the percentage of Tesla drivers who claim the design of the car saved them from this very thing.
> In 2004, a AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study revealed that vehicle-related road debris caused 25,000 accidents—and nearly 100 deaths—each year.[1][7] At highway speeds, even small debris can be deadly.
With the small sample size so far, we could chalk it up to a statistical anomaly (repeated "unlucky" events do happen, and are expected with natural random sampling), or an actual engineering problem.
My bet is low clearance. It would be interesting to compare these accidents against all cars with similar bottom clearance.
In that case, it's just a physical dimension problem combined with a bit of a poor consequence of battery damage...
