Looks like NHTSA has too much funding and we need to cut it by 95%.

vietomatic 2025-08-21 16:14

Near crashes and phantom braking should be reported as well.

ComicsEtAl 2025-08-21 16:14

Da fuq? Musk spent two months wiping out every federal investigation into his companies and they just go and start another one?! How is that fair?

bonfuto 2025-08-21 16:24

I guess their clever ruse of shutting off fsd/autopilot just before a crash is inevitable didn't work.

hilldog4lyfe 2025-08-21 16:26

Elon literally already did this https://www.theverge.com/news/646797/nhtsa-staffers-office-vehicle-automation-safety-firing-doge-tesla

I wonder if the Tesla Autopilot and FSD fan boys know that Elon has been laughing at them for the past 8-years for being his private little group of crash test dummies?

ARAR1 2025-08-21 16:39

Ya. They purposefully lie all the time. Look who their CEO is

BrtFrkwr 2025-08-21 16:46

Find out who's doing that and get rid of them.

BrainwashedHuman 2025-08-21 16:53

Tell them their car is an appreciating asset. Ignore actually trying to get unsupervised driving approval, rapidly expand company owned network with safety drivers.

CareBearOvershare 2025-08-21 17:08

Looks like Elon is trying to de-escalate with Trump based on the rumors that he is backing off starting a political party. Is Trump going to smite him or also de-escalate?

Acceptable_Rice1139 2025-08-21 17:15

He made Trump mad

LingeringHumanity 2025-08-21 17:32

A bunch of people are about to get fired for trying to make that loser follow the law. United States regulations are a joke.

Belzebutt 2025-08-21 17:44

I know right? I thought he fired all the inspectors general and shut down all the investigations, WTF did he spend $170 million for then?

pzerr 2025-08-21 17:47

I am surprised there is someone left to investigate them.

hilldog4lyfe 2025-08-21 17:51

If Elon hadn’t crashed out on Trump maybe they wouldn’t be investigating him

the garbage car doesnt know there is phantom braking.

luv2block 2025-08-21 18:23

NHTSA counts all deaths as deaths. Tesla only counts it as a death if the individual had a net worth higher than $5M. They'll have to fight it out in the Supreme court as to how much a human being must be worth to be considered a human being.

Odd-Adagio7080 2025-08-21 18:39

Ha! Yeah. Freeeedummmmb!!!

friendIdiglove 2025-08-21 18:59

Looks like you didn’t DOGE hard enough, Leon.

Crepuscular_Tex 2025-08-21 19:12

His self evaluation of his companies he's buying with his other companies supported by his companies funded by his crypto holdings and supported by numerous assets essentially gifted to him by various, often conflicted, global interests have his net worth off the charts. It's not like he has anything to hide. There's no way that anyone would be upset after the severance packages offered and promises always unfulfilled.

WildFlowLing 2025-08-21 19:30

Realistically these lawsuits are known pretty far in advance. I don’t doubt that part of Elons “if Trump doesn’t win I’m fucked” statement he is famous for during the campaign includes shit like this. But Cletus mcbuttfuck voted for fascism so yeah.

Maximum-Objective-39 2025-08-21 19:36

When you reduce your argument to whethet something is communist or capitalist, you become more concerned with the label than the result.

Ordinary-Map-7306 2025-08-21 20:11

In Ontario when a collision occurs you can tick the box when you fill out the collision report if self-driving was activated.

xMagnis 2025-08-21 21:27

But what if you don't click the box, does the "self-driving" collision then go unreported? Tesla only reports incidents that fall under certain criteria, and honestly who checks that every incident is being fully reported? It could be that incidents are not being reported by Tesla, the driver, or others.

tesla has been lying for 10 years , whats the hold up?

What the hell are you even on about?

Centralredditfan 2025-08-21 22:36

Finally!!

Centralredditfan 2025-08-21 22:38

Yea, let's show everything like a flight recorder who records the last 15 or 30 mins. (An aviation nerd please correct me) Then who cares when Tesla switches it off.

Longjumping-Foot970 2025-08-22 05:30

Aviation nerd here, it’s typically the last 30 flight mins.

Chilli71 2025-08-22 07:07

Even if there was only one left, he would investigate Tesla....

Chilli71 2025-08-22 07:08

Doesn't matter. Record all emergency braking and let the surveyor decide if it was phantom or not.

Chilli71 2025-08-22 07:17

Especially if the label is wrong. Because he means authoritarianism as most communist countries turned into being ruled supressing the people that they should have liberated. But who in US really knows what communism or socialism is. US people are trained from child on that those are just boo-words with horror stories because all you need to know is that capitalism is perfect. Well, capiatlism and authoritarianism/fascism go perfectly hand in hand, as well.

Centralredditfan 2025-08-22 13:18

Thanks. Redditors came through as always

[deleted] 2025-08-23 09:43

Fan boys paying 8k-15k to be Musk's premium lab rats and FSD had 0 resell value ; ain't it worth a documentary on this finest scam in human history

xt1nct 2025-08-24 06:27

The only person working there now, is like….you know what fuck Elon musk.

Icy-person666 2025-08-26 07:08

In other news Elon Musk is back in Washington DC to make more cuts at the NHTSA...

hilldog4lyfe 2025-08-26 07:43

It’s so wild because he just never bothered to figure out Trump’s EV policy, he just assumed Trump would change it for him.

chrisjdel 2025-08-28 06:29

All that ketamine, it supercharges the brain! 🤪

All self-driving software and data for cars on public roads should be fully accessible to public officials and LE at all times. Want to hide your data? You can’t run your self-driving cars on public roads.
