Tesla reported 207 crashes involving its driver-assist systems in a single month — the most it has ever logged. The figure comes from Tesla’s own crash reports to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The record month lands as Tesla pushes Full Self-Driving harder than ever, and as the company continues to redact nearly every detail of what actually happened in these crashes.
A new record, in Tesla’s own data
The data comes from NHTSA’s Standing General Order (SGO), which requires automakers to report crashes where an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) was engaged within roughly 30 seconds of impact and the crash met a severity threshold — an airbag deployment, a tow-away, an injury, a fatality, or a struck pedestrian or cyclist.
We merged NHTSA’s latest ADAS export with the full archive going back to 2019, deduplicated to the latest version of each report, and isolated Tesla’s Level 2 records — the Autopilot and FSD file for customer cars.
