Tesla β€˜Robotaxis’ are not crashing because they are not running

16 June 2026 at 14:50

Tesla didn’t report a single at-fault β€œRobotaxi” crash in the latest NHTSA autonomous-vehicle data β€” its only fresh incident was a Model Y getting rear-ended while stopped, clearly the other driver’s fault.

That sounds like good news for Tesla’s safety record. But live fleet data points to the real reason the crashes have dried up: Tesla’s robotaxis are barely running, and the active fleet is shrinking a year into the program.

Tesla promotes FSD misuse in its own videos β€” undermining its legal defense

11 June 2026 at 18:11

Tesla is facing up to $14.5 billion in lawsuits related to its β€œFull Self-Driving” and Autopilot systems β€” and the company’s own marketing department keeps making the problem worse. In two official promotional videos published in the last three weeks, Tesla showed a driver making espresso while FSD drives and shared footage where FSD committed multiple traffic violations in Denmark.

The problem is obvious: Tesla’s entire legal defense in crash lawsuits rests on the argument that drivers are responsible for supervising FSD at all times. But Tesla’s own promotional content actively encourages the opposite behavior.
