A 2025 Tesla Model 3 in Full-Self Driving mode drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media.

I just don't see how this technology could possibly be ready to power an autonomous taxi service by the end of next week.

According to the driver it was on FSD, and it was using the latest software update available.

https://www.reddit.com/user/SynNightmare/

They can’t stop and ask for assistance at 100km/h on a highway.

Maybe the point is then, that Tesla FSD shouldn't be legally used on a highway.
But it probably shouldn't be used anywhere, because it's faulty as shit.
And why can't is slow down to let the driver take over in a timely manner, when it can break for no reason.
It was tested in Germany on Autobahn where it did that 8 times within 6 hours!!!

According to the driver, with zero evidence backing up the claim. With how much of a hard on everyone has for blaming Elon musk for everything, and trying to drag teslas stock down, his accident is a sure fire way to thousands of Internet karma and e-fame on sites like Reddit and Lemmy. Why doesn’t he just show us the interior camera?

Looking at his profile he’s milking this for all it’s worth - he’s posted the same thread to like 8 different subs lol. He’s karma whoring. He probably wasn’t even the one involved in the crash.

Looked at his twitter which he promoted on there too, and of course he tags mark rober and is retweeting everything about this crash. He’s loving the attention and doing everything he can to get more.

Also he had the car for less than 2 weeks and said he used FSD “all the time”……in a brand new car he’d basically never driven…..and then it does this catastrophic failure? Yeh nah lol. Also as others in some of the threads have pointed out, the version of FSD he claims it was on wasn’t out at the time of his accident.

Dudes lying through his teeth.

There have been other similar cases lately, which clearly indicate problems with the car.
The driver has put up the footage from all the cameras of the car, so he has done what he can to provide evidence.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaFSD/comments/1ksa79y/1328_fsd_accident/

It's very clear from the comments, that some have personally experienced similar things, and others have seen reporting of it.
This is not an isolated incident. It's just has better footage than most.

Also this happened in February. He never reached out to Tesla? He never requested the data to show that FSD was engaged? In that thread he says he only just did it. There’s also an official Tesla software program you can use to get the full logs, but as expected he hasn’t done that.

Dudes lying for sure.

February explains why he wasn't on 13.2.9.
Why would he reach out to Tesla? That's not his job, but the insurance.
But there is no point, because Tesla never takes responsibility in these cases.

[–] FreedomAdvocate -1 points 10 months ago

It also means that he couldn't have been on version 13.2.8 which he claims he was on though.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaFSD/comments/1ksa79y/1328_fsd_accident/mtlj5ki/

My point in saying he didn't reach out to tesla is that if I owned a car that drove itself off the road into a tree, I'd reach out to tesla and ask them to investigate and see what they'll do for me for almost killing me. Insurance is a completely different story, they'll go and do their thing regardless.

You are so full of shit, I just checked it out:

https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1kskfqd/comment/mtmbkvm/?context=3

Ay that’s me thank you for tagging me. I know that there’s a lot of skepticism about my accident. I leased the car at the beginning of February and this happened at the end of February. I was using FSD every chance it would let me. I did not have time to react the cop said it was going 55 miles when it crashed me. I requested the data log today as somebody suggested to me.

He never claimed it was recent.

Every claim you make you never provide sources, because you are probably just parroting hearsay.

He never claimed it was recent.

Did you not even read my post? Literally THE FIRST SENTENCE OF MY POST IS THIS:

Also this happened in February.

The part of mine that you misunderstood as me saying it was recent was, I assume, this:

He never requested the data to show that FSD was engaged? In that thread he says he only just did it.

Again, you misread and misunderstood - a common theme with you apparently - me saying that he only just requested the data from Tesla as me saying "he only just crashed the car". The quote you posted of the guy literally confirms what I said - that the crash was in February and that he only just requested the data lol

You are so full of shit, I just checked it out:

Every claim you make you never provide sources, because you are probably just parroting hearsay.

Care to apologize?
