No, it really doesn’t crash “so much.” Tesla’s latest Q1 2026 safety report (after >8 billion supervised FSD miles) shows 1 major collision every ~5.3 million miles with FSD engaged. Compare that to: - Tesla manual driving (with active safety): ~1 every 2.2 million miles - Tesla manual (no active safety): ~1 every 855k miles - U.S. national average: ~1 every 660k miles FSD Supervised is currently ~8× safer than the average human driver and ~2.4× safer than even attentive Tesla owners driving manually with safety features on. The NHTSA probe is real and serious (focused on edge cases like sun glare/fog where the system didn’t hand off quickly enough), but it covers a tiny number of incidents relative to billions of miles driven. Painting the whole system as crashing constantly ignores the actual data Tesla publishes quarterly. If you have specific crash stats showing otherwise, share them—otherwise this is just repeating outdated FUD.

@havetorunalot @verge A single person’s experience with FSD is irrelevant. What matters is findings within the data across all users.

@ElectrekCo @FredLambert If FSD is recalled, what happens to those that purchased FSD? Do they get a refund? What about handicapped people whose sole reason for buying the car was FSD (due to their physical limitations)?

@TimEppy @SawyerMerritt You miss my point. Shouldn’t humans driving manually be provided audio/visual warnings vs FSD which already drives autonomously (under supervision) very well under adverse conditions.

@havetorunalot @SawyerMerritt Where FSD is not deployed, the entire system is non functional and only emergency braking assistance is activated as per current regulations

NEWS: The NHTSA has announced that its has upgraded the probe into Tesla's FSD (Supervised) in low-visibility conditions to what’s known as an “engineering analysis.” It’s a step that is often required before the agency tells a company to issue a OTA recall, but does not automatically mean that the NHTSA will issue a OTA recall. The NHTSA said its engineering analysis follows an earlier preliminary review and broadens the probe to about 3.2 million ​Tesla vehicles across multiple models equipped with the system, covering most vehicles on U.S. roads.

Elon Musk, you pretentious bald fuck with a micro-penis and god complex—you blew $44B on X to stroke your fragile ego after endless ratioings. Your Teslas are flaming deathtraps, SpaceX rockets are pricey fireworks, Neuralink fries brains, and your Mars fantasy is cult bait. You breed kids like a stray dog but can't hold a wife 'cause you're a narcissistic shithead. Suck a bag of dicks and fuck off to your red planet.

@Tesla @FoxNews If on basic Autopilot, shouldn’t it be improved so that it’s not possible for vehicles to approach a sharp bend like this at such a high speed? Seems it’s less safe than conventional or advanced cruise control in other vehicles for instances like this.

'TERRIFYING': Dashcam video shows the moment a Tesla Cybertruck, allegedly operating in self-driving mode, nearly sent a Houston mom and her infant off a bridge before violently crashing into an overpass barrier. The woman claims she suffered multiple injuries from the incident and is now suing the automaker for $1 million.

I normally don't bother armchair quarterbacking these situations. But watching the Tesla Stans come into the comments is funny. Elon said Autopilot (FSD?) was disengaged 4s before the impact which if you watch the video looks like it was going way too fast at that point. Am I missing something?

@MissJilianne Problem is, we don’t fully know fully what happened. Car didn’t seem to brake much after disengaging, if at all. We don’t know if, for example the driver had her foot on the accelerator at any time, perhaps by accident.

If Autopilot and Full Self-Driving were truly flawless, there wouldn’t be Cybertrucks crashing because a driver failed to intervene, there wouldn’t be a critical error to begin with. Seems pretty clear to me.

For “better parking” I’d like to see: Forward or rear facing selection. Read and follow signs, eg handicapped spaces Select specific spot (reserved parking) Away from other vehicles Close to destination entrance Avoid parking next to trucks, oversized vehicles. Slower un-parking if supervisor determined to have poor sight lines Full rear camera visibility vs cropped for safer supervision. Resolution to see chained parking barriers Better memorizing of obstacles present when arriving that may be difficult for cars without bumper-level cameras to see. Offering bumper camera upgrades to all HW4 cars.

Tesla’s forthcoming AI5 uses a half-reticle design, which is crucial for yield. A reticle defines the imaging area of a lithography machine, fitting two chips per shot effectively doubles yield. This means the Tesla chip design team had to carefully manage die features, for instance dropping the older ISP (and classic GPU) to make room for more AI cores. By contrast, NVIDIA’s Blackwell fills nearly a full reticle, making it a single-reticle design. If Tesla hits its compute and efficiency targets with AI5 in this half-reticle format, it’s almost like cutting fab requirements in half. And this has a big impact on Terafab, especially if it carries forward for AI6, AI7, etc.

Terafab may be the most essential vertical integration Tesla has ever undertaken— and it is truly non-optional. It will take years to build and will test even Elon’s speedrunning abilities to the limit, but that won’t stop him from trying. The breakthrough likely lies in overhauling the overall facility’s cleanroom model. By moving wafers in sealed pods with localized micro-environments, the fab no longer needs a monolithic ultra-clean space. Elon’s line about “eating cheeseburgers and smoking cigars” on the fab floor isn’t silly, it’s the practical reality of a radically simpler, cheaper, faster approach that could finally change the economics of chipmaking. This is all forced by the brutal “pinch” in chip supply. Tesla must produce on the order of 100–200 billion AI chips per year just to saturate its roadmap. That volume powers: FSD cars & Robotaxis (tens of millions of vehicles needing AI5 inference for near-perfect autonomy), Physical Optimus (scaling from thousands today to millions per year, each requiring AI5/AI6-level compute), Digital Optimus (the new xAI-Tesla software agents for digital/office automation, running massive inference clusters), Space-based data centers (AI7/Dojo3 orbital compute for GW-scale training and inference beyond Earth limits). AI5 delivers the ~10× leap for vehicles and early robots; AI6 shifts focus to Optimus + terrestrial DCs; AI7 goes orbital. No external foundry (TSMC, Samsung, etc.) can deliver that scale or timeline— hence the Terafab launch. Without it, the entire robotics + autonomy future hits a brick wall. Terafab isn’t optional; it’s the only way forward.

@NotATeslaApp What if she pushed the accelerator instead of the brake by accident and continued on FSD until the 4 second point, then braked? An accelerator push isn’t counted as a disengagement, is it? Tesla presumably has all that data.

Musk confirms that the Cyebrtruck was on FSD, but was disengaged 4 seconds prior to the crash. What are your thoughts? Should this count as a crash on FSD? Tesla typically counts an FSD crash if FSD was disengaged in the last 4 seconds.

@FredLambert She should have taken control the moment she felt FSD was going too fast.

Tesla fans using the “4-second disengagement” as a gotcha are missing the forest for the trees. Yes, the driver was technically in control of the vehicle at the moment of impact. But she was in control because FSD was already failing by driving too fast ahead of this sharp turn — it was heading straight into a concrete barrier at highway speed with no sign of correcting. Everyone who has frequently used FSD or Autopilot and paints this 4-second disengagement as a “gotcha” moment is being disengenous, and that includes Elon Musk. I have tens of thousands of miles on FSD, and I’ve experienced the system coming too fast into a turn at least half a dozen times. We’ve said this before and we’ll keep saying it: the problem with FSD isn’t what happens when the driver is paying attention and the system works. The problem is what happens when the system gives you every reason to trust it, and then suddenly doesn’t work. The driver has to recognize the failure, assess the situation, decide on a correction, and physically execute it, all in less time than the system needs to create the danger. Musk and Tesla’s propagandists can point to the logs all they want. The video shows what actually matters: FSD approaching a standard highway curve at full speed with zero indication it was going to navigate it. That’s the failure. Everything that happened after, including the panicked disengagement, is a consequence of that failure. The framing that this was “manual driving, not FSD” is technically true for the final 4 seconds and deeply dishonest about the full sequence of events. It’s exactly the kind of liability shell game that courts are increasingly rejecting, as that $243 million verdict makes clear. Tesla created the system, sold it as “Full Self-Driving,” and profits from the ambiguity. At some point, it has to own the consequences.
