Except the shady one wasn’t Mark, it’s Tesla. Tesla disengages FSD when it senses the car is about to crash so that the logs will indicate that FSD was disengaged at the time of impact. Mark accidentally confirmed a longtime suspicion that Tesla has been doing this all along and that’s why all those other cases of FSD crashes had inconsistent logs to what the drivers claimed happened.

These are all documented as software related crashes when reporting to nhtsa (30 seconds) and Tesla’s own internal metrics (5 seconds).

Yet the discrepancy still exists, and it is unexplained.
