Women sues Tesla claiming Cybertruck crash caused by FSD (video). Musk responds & owners test with their own FSD

[HaulingAss]

oh. your wording

you have had 3 FSD software force quits. I understand what you mean now.

Fooled me too!

I've been using FSD since it was first available, in a wide variety of weather and road conditions, and I don't recall FSD ever turning off. A few times it told me to take over immediately but I just got ready to take over and didn't actually do so unless I saw it was being unsafe. In about half of those instances it cleared the problem itself and continued on the way (I may have had to tug the wheel to let it know I was still there), in the rest of the cases it slowed enough that I took over.

I've certainly never had FSD (the software) crash. Not even once in all those years.

I hear a lot of crazy autopilot/FSD stories , but my experience has been it's a very safe dependable system, even if not 100% perfect. I think it's already considerably safer than the typical driver in most situations.

It literally said FSD crashed in a warning message. These were not the inattention kick outs.

Just attack the poster directly as you dont like their post

I've had 3 full FSD crashes. Last time was on a mid 12.* version (HW3 MY). When it happened, there was no more FSD steering control with no override feel to take control steering*, immediate loud alarm over lowered volume music, red take control now steering wheel shown on screen, and after a couple seconds the car started to regen slow.

The other 2 crashes were on earlier FSD versions. The car still seamed to be controlling it's self, but had the same alarms. I think they both had the shadow version of FSD still running so control continued until I took over.

All 3 of my crashes happened on long continuous drives without shutdown.

* Car was already going straight.

I don't where Cyberguy is getting his information. FSD documentation, and basic internet searches outline that FSD will 'disengage' due to numerous issues such as camera obstruction, heavy rain, sensor obstruction, software bottlenecks, which are not caused by the driver.

What is exactly the point of creating a conflict with those who've had experiences you have not?

For those wanting some 'proof' review this reddit [found with a simple internet search] where this person had FSD disengage.

Oh, my, God! And you are not embarrassed to admit that?

In each of the three crashes, why didn't you take over the second you noticed it wasn't driving safely? Three crashes on FSD? I recommend you stop using it (and perhaps stop being in control of a motor vehicle of any kind).

What do you mean by "crashes" - FSD software program crashes, or an actual vehicle crash? Your ambiguity out of context is sneaky and attempts to imply the worst interpretation.

You just joined this forum yesterday March 20, 2026 - so with those statements you're obviously going to have to provide some proof - otherwise the BS flag is strongly raised and flying.

The car never got damaged. I'm referring to software crashes. Software, firmware, and microcode have all been parts of work I did before I became disabled.

One incident happened while in traffic on an overcast day so I took immediate control. The other two were at night on rural highways. I was the only vehicle in the area so I just let it take it's course, and took control before anything bad happened. In all three cases I was using FSD again within a couple minutes without stopping.

By tracking others posted release numbers, in the past I always seamed to be getting the newest releases, often before anybody mentioned them. Now, I seam to just be with early adopters. I don't drive as much anymore. Having ME/CFS sucks! I also have no formal agreements with Tesla other than the standard purchase agreements, and none with any other Musk company. My only agreement with Musk was made in 2002.

Oh, in that case I think we can completely throw this out as FUD.

Are you really that gullible that you think FSD just randomly disengaged in the middle of a curvy interstate road, resulting in a crash without displaying a "TAKE OVER IMMEDIATELY" notification?

This isn't proof of anything other than the guy crashed his car and is lying about it. If he really had any proof the media would be tearing it to pieces.

"Take Control" only happens when the Sun's glare blinds the camera, or, you are not watching the road, playing on your phone, in a very hard rain, yada, yada, yada. After almost two years of ownership and using FSD since it first was installed on a CyberTruck I question the posts I see in this thread. Either the posters are Trolls or incompetents.

I got the RHOD when FSD was passing on a two-lane road, and I floored it to finish the maneuver quickly… and almost instantly hit the 85 MPH limit

Some of us have had software glitches or crashes with previous versions. Often a simple screen reboot of the car was all that was necessary to clear it from memory.

Usually the updates Tesla would send soon after would then correct such anomalies by either a direct bug fix, or a code change that inherently removed the problem. On rare occasions updates would bring a new problem, but mostly what we've seen in that realm would be most often a behavior regression instead of any software crashes or phantom panics.

Over the years, Tesla has refined FSD a lot.

When you activate FSD, you actually acknowledge an agreement on screen by pressing the [-Yes-] button - which means Yes you (Agree) with what was just presented to you.

No chance Im going to believe this is FSD’s fault without the telemetry data. The car jerks left way too quick. Almost certainly the driver jerked the wheel unknowingly. There was a very similar video on reddit and the driver got/posted the telemetry which ended up showing he didnt realize he cranked the wheel. That said, I think its a bit of a dangerous setup where bumping the wheel hard enough can disengage FSD but i dont know how youd fix that.

For science, I disengaged FSD at 40MPH while on a flat, straight road:

4 seconds: 20 MPH
8 seconds: ~5 MPH
10 seconds: full stop

That makes me wonder that all these thrilling stories about Tesla were not true. They just try to discredit Elon Musk, as so many AI videos on YouTube!

We bought our first Tesla in 2020 and all of the subsequent ones (3,X,CT,Y) have had FSD which I use extensively. I have never once had FSD disengage with nothing but the chime that happens when you manually take over or use the stalk or button now to disengage. It has always alarmed with a startling warning while flashing red on the screen. Even sometimes I will exit FSD to manually pull in my driveway and it will flash the same alert even though I am actually driving at that point.

I had a Lighting and BlueCruise would often turn off with very little warning.

I think anyone stating something different is confused and perhaps hit the wrong button, bumped the brake or put a little too much pressure on the wheel. I would be happy to change my mind with some kind of proof but so far there isn’t any and my 5+ years of using FSD directly contradicts what some people are saying.

This thread has crashed multiple times since I last checked.

10k plus miles on LSD and no spontaneous disengagement with just a “dong”. It’s always been a “take over the fucking wheel cause I can’t see shit” flashing messages and loud horn. I may not have the exact wording
