I went to the exact same location of the Cybertruck accident shown in the Fox News video. This is the US-69/59 Eastex Freeway northbound HOV lane at the Y-split near the Eastex Park & Ride exit (approaching from downtown Houston toward Humble). In the Fox News video, the vehicle failed to follow the right curve, going straight into the barrier.
Well, I tested it twice today with Tesla FSD engaged the entire time with zero human intervention. And unless you think I am a hologram speaking to you from another dimension now, it worked out really well. Here is the video of me taking the exact same curve twice, with Tesla FSD v14.2.2.5.

Another day, another anti-Tesla hit piece based on allegations in a lawsuit. Here's what the media won't tell you about what happened:
This tragic incident was a drunk driving crash. Every year, more than 11,000 Americans die due to drunk driving, representing about 30% of traffic fatalities.
Sentry mode footage on the Tesla showed one of the occupants carrying a half gallon bottle of alcohol, which was inside the car at the time of the crash.
The driver was found to have both cocaine and alcohol in his system at the time of the crash, with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.19, 2.5 times the legal limit. At 3:07 AM, the driver drove into a tree at 84 miles per hour. Five seconds before hitting the tree, the driver was pressing on the accelerator pedal. Automatic Emergency Braking activated a half second before impact. Tragically, 3 of the 4 occupants perished after the wrecked car caught fire.
The way the media reports these stories, you would think that Elon Musk invented drunk driving, and that drunk driving crashes only happen in a Tesla. In reality hundreds of thousands of drunk driving crashes happen every year across every brand of car on the market.
The survivor of the crash is now suing Tesla, claiming the crash was their fault because the other occupants were unable to escape. But Tesla's doors are designed to function even when the vehicle completely loses power. Below you can see a picture of Tesla's doors, with both the electronic door open button and the emergency door latch clearly marked.
Even in a horrific high speed crash like this one, simply pulling on the manual release would have opened the door and allowed the occupants to exit easily. I don't see any evidence that the door was the issue here. Rather, the issue seems to be that the occupants were drunk and high on cocaine.
The Plaintiff in this lawsuit could have called his friends an Uber. He could have told them not to drive drunk. He could have told the driver not to speed given that he was already drunk. Sadly, the Plaintiff did none of those things, but is now trying to shift the blame to Tesla.
In the United States, people can sue over anything. It's very common, even in situations where a drunk driver was at fault, to sue the manufacturer — especially when the manufacturer is run by the wealthiest person on Earth. That doesn't mean the manufacturer is at fault, or that the court will find they did anything wrong.
These types of lawsuits happen all the time, but they only make headlines when the car is a Tesla. In one case last year, Mercedes-Benz was sued after the owners of a Benz were hit by a drunk driver driving on the wrong side of the road. The crash occurred at 2 AM in Michigan. Plaintiff's sued claiming a design defect caused the Mercedes to catch on fire, and that the second row seat release mechanism was defective making it difficult for occupants to escape. Two family members tragically died in the crash, and another sustained serious injuries. After five weeks of evidence, the jury cleared Mercedes-Benz of any wrongdoing in just 2 hours. But i'm guessing you never heard about that lawsuit, because the media didn't report on it.
In another example, Ford was sued after a Ford owner was driving drunk and crashed, resulting in the death of the driver and one passenger. The driver's father sued claiming the air bags should have deployed sooner. Ford won the lawsuit, with the jury finding that the crash was caused by the driver's intoxication, not by any defects in the vehicle.
There are countless other examples, but you've probably never heard about them. These types of unproven allegations only get reported if it's a Tesla. For any other brand, they wait for the court to look at the facts and find out who was really at fault.
It is sad that the media and Tesla short sellers are trying so hard to smear the safest car brand in the world. They try to make it seem like humans can only get into car crashes in a Tesla. What they don't tell you is that Tesla is the only brand working to end tragic crashes like this through the structural design of their vehicles, over the air updates that improve safety constantly, and self-driving built into every car. The saddest thing about this Cybertruck crash is that if the drunk driver had just using Tesla Self-Driving, this horrific crash never would have happened.
So what's with the media digging up these old crashes and trying to blame Tesla for them? Why are they not reporting on lawsuits from other manufacturers? My read on this is that as Tesla's unsupervised self-driving hits the road, they are trying to throw anything they can at the wall to see what sticks and makes Tesla look unsafe.
There's a special place in hell for people who try to convince others that life saving safety tech will actually hurt them. It's frustrating to see the media twist the facts around tragic incidents like these day after day, but the truth will come out in court.
Please keep spreading the word about all the safety innovations Tesla is pioneering to fight back against FUD from the mainstream media.

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.
It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

@future_yas Yes, that’s how ADAS works. The driver pays attention and makes sure the car doesn’t make any mistakes.
In the eyes of Tesla haters like you, Tesla is at fault even when someone crashes driving manually.
