The statistics make sense. The metric is total num crashes divided by total miles by fleet. It does not matter if one Tesla drove 10 km, or two teslas drove 5 km each.

It absolutely does, as they could have an accident with each other. If your statistics were taken, we could simplify down to a single vehicle globally, which can’t have an accident with another vehicle as we’re just removed them from consideration.
No it doesn’t. This effect only comes into effect if there are sufficient teslas on the road that p² is comparable to p, where p is the ratio of teslas to all cars. if 5% of all cars are Teslas, then p is 0.05 and p² is 0.0025, which is a negligible probability. Teslas are much more likely to encounter non-Teslas than Teslas.
