The media is running a story today about how a Cybertruck “allegedly” crashed on a Texas highway. Spoiler alert, the crash happened while the human driver was in control. The law firm, which is seeking $1 million, says that last summer Justine Saint Amour was driving her Cybertruck with Autopilot engaged. There’s just one problem — Autopilot is a legacy lane keeping system that never shipped on Cybertruck. The driver then admits that before the crash they disengaged the system and started driving manually. Indeed, the video shows the truck starting to turn before the driver disengaged and drove into the wall. Tesla hasn’t officially responded to the lawsuit yet, but available telemetry indicates the driver probably wasn’t paying attention, got startled, and crashed. There doesn’t seem to be any attempt to steer back towards the on-ramp in the video, rather you see the trajectory change from turning with the ramp to driving straight into it. When you crash your car, people tend to put blame on anyone but themselves. A high profile company like Tesla, with a CEO who is the wealthiest man on Earth? Yeah, they kinds of BS lawsuits happen often. Let’s wait for more data and discovery to take place, but based on the evidence i’m seeing so far that doesn’t look like something FSD — even an older V13 — would do.

@wholemars @WR4NYGov Logs show driver disengaged Autopilot four seconds before crashing

@wholemars If Autopilot wasn’t fitted then exactly what did she disengage?

@wholemars You lied and said FSD wasn’t on. Where you get that info?

@wholemars This shows why theses systems are so dangerous. A driver should always have to be in control.

@wholemars That is what I was thinking. Somehow she accidently took control. I predict that she will lose the lawsuit because Tesla has the data.

@wholemars Ehm… If Autopilot never shipped on Cybertruck, as you say, then what is Elon saying here?…

@wholemars The question that really hasn’t been answered. Would those 4 seconds made a difference at that speed?

@wholemars Thanks! Nice to have the truth on 𝕏.

@wholemars This is the second article in a week on FOX about Tesla crashes. Hummmm coincidence? I don't think so......

@wholemars If I was that person in that cyber truck, I’d be suing all these fake media outlets with their fake news. reports about it. Absolutely a disgrace and disgusting to the United States of America. This is y we need u @elonmusk more than ever❤️🙏

@wholemars But what % of blame will the court apply? 0.01% blame on Tesla and award $1 Billion?? It’s crazy

@wholemars Crash happens under manual control… Headline still blames the tech. That’s the real story. #Media #Tesla #FSD 👀

@wholemars Logs show driver disengaged Autopilot four seconds before crashing

@wholemars I’m so pissed of because even my realtor sand me the vido it’s all over the news 99% especially instagram, FB , tick Tock and other legacy media had it fist page tesla should officially respond and correct their fake news !

@wholemars I think she accidentally disengaged, didn't realize that, and therefore just let the car drive on, assuming FSD was still on.

@wholemars I consistently warn my wife and anyone using FSD in my vehicle not to take it away from the AI unless they have situational awareness of what’s happening. The system is so good that we as humans often lose the bubble, leading to dangerous takeovers.

@wholemars My Tessie have saved me from terrible drivers countless times, reacting before I even knew there was trouble. Usually occurs at my 4 and 7 o’clock position with people coming into my lane at my rear quarter panels and she takes action. On my 3rd Tesla and all I will ever have.

@wholemars If the vehicle didn't exist, she wouldn't have driven it into a wall. Case closed.

@wholemars FSD is supervised. You either take control in time to prevent the accident or you shut up and take the blame. It is not clear if “assistance” in the screenshot is autopilot or FSD. With autopilot you have even less reason to blame someone else.

@wholemars @Chansoo Very destructive to the Tesla brand. What a shame they can make a claim, then the media is very much willing to spread the word.

@wholemars Autopilot never shipped to CT, yet Elon's reply calls it Autopilot, too 😆 Ppl just call the whole system autopilot, which is really what it is.

@wholemars 4 seconds isn't much time to reverse the mistakes of a malfunctioning FSD. FSD couldn't read the yellow 15 MPH sign.

@wholemars Cybertruck definitely had Autopilot better for a bit. It wasn’t great and you don’t have it turn for you

If I am not mistaken the truck would have been able to stop from 60 to 0 in 3 seconds if not less. Let alone slow down enough to make turn. So driver taking over was the cause of crash. In fact driver was in control during that whole video the lawyers released. Another question is when and if did the driver apply brakes? What do logs show? @elonmusk

@wholemars attorney statement in the screenshot says autopilot was engaged. so which is it

Tesla faces a lawsuit alleging a Cybertruck highway crash resulted from Autopilot. Court records show the driver admitted disengaging the system and assuming manual control. Legacy lane-keeping never shipped on Cybertruck. Telemetry and video confirm driver inattention with no corrective steering toward the on-ramp. These claims follow the familiar pattern of shifting personal responsibility onto high-profile manufacturers. Tesla’s always-on real-world data logging delivers objective reconstruction that media narratives cannot match. Recorded reality overrides convenient stories.

@wholemars This is full of blatant inaccuracies. FSD was going 60mph less than 4s away from a 15mph turn. Driver did responsible thing but just a little too late. If you want to drive everyone’s car, you’d better be ok with the liability.

@wholemars @grok where is Mars getting this data from? Is the telemetry publicly available, if so please provide link of available telemetry and how anyone can access it.

@wholemars It sucks so much that America is a PvP society where so many people are constantly trying to scam and cheat others using the (very unfair and illogical) legal system

@wholemars Yep, something is not right, red flags everywhere! Not buying her story at all!

@wholemars Anti-FSD FUD is rising drastically. I wonder why... Is it the usual end-of-quarter thing or Robotaxi?
