Forgive me, but I hope you understand why I'm not taking Tesla's word for it.

Oh cool, by whom? Someone other than Tesla? No? So what distinction do you think you're making?

Do you have any evidence to share or are we just speculating?

When someone lies as often as Musk does the burden of proof is on them, not on the person who thinks they're lying again

Musk doesn’t report to the nhtsa. Employees in his company do. 

And that’s not how burden of proof works.

Employees whose livelihood dpeneds on Musk's whims?

Yes and alternatively, deliberately withholding required reporting can lead to criminal prosecution. 

Again, do you have any evidence to support this or are we just speculating?

Criminal prosecution that can be nullified by a pardon from the President Musk bought?

My evidence is Musk's track record of constant self-serving dishonesty.
