Despite Tesla trying to scrub the data, its technology is too flawed to hide.

The picture is unambiguous. Tesla logged 207 crashes in May 2026, the highest single-month total on record. That one month is larger than all of 2021 combined (157). Across the full file, Tesla now accounts for 3,763 unique driver-assist crashes — about 85% of the entire industry’s ADAS reports.

The trend is not leveling off. It’s accelerating.

What Tesla does control, it blacks out.

Tesla has redacted the narrative on 99.9% of its 3,763 crash reports — every single year since 2019 — citing confidential business information. The severity field tells the same story: the vast majority of crashes are logged as “Unknown,” because the underlying detail is telematics-sourced and the description is redacted.

No other car makers redact their data. You may remember the earlier story about Tesla staff, which proved Tesla cooks their data.

Seven of the nine former data labelers told Reuters they wouldn’t trust FSD to drive them. One said he wouldn’t ride in a Tesla robotaxi “if you fucking paid me.” A veteran self-driving engineer who reviewed Tesla crash data for years called the company’s safety claims “bullshit” and said: “Definitely, don’t trust Elon on this.”
