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.

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

I hope Tesla/Musk address this accident and get the telemetry from the car, cause there’s no evidence that FSD was even on.

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

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.
