That guy is lying through his teeth lol.
He's fame chasing. He saw an opportunity to turn his user error crash into 15 mins of fame and money.
Did you watch the video? There's no way that it was just "user error", nobody randomly swerves into a tree when nothing's there. Maybe you're implying it was insurance fraud?
Tesla gives out beta access to users, so I wouldn't put too much weight on that claimed version they were using.
You're assuming that he was paying attention and driving normally. He could have dozed off and pulled the wheel.
All I'm asking for is evidence to support his claim other than "trust me bro".
As others have pointed out, that version wasn't out to regular people on that day.
It all points to a guy who crashed his car and has now seen an opportunity months later to get his 15 minutes of fame. Why didn't he post about this in FEBRUARY WHEN IT HAPPENED? Why did he not reach out to tesla in the last 3 months? It just doesn't add up. He has provided zero evidence that FSD caused this.
Where are you getting February from? As far as I know this happened last week. I don't blame the person not wanting to reveal their face.
The guy posting it everywhere all over reddit and twitter himself says it happened in February. People on here, including myself, have linked to his posts saying it happened in February.
He could simply blur his face…..
Well now you've made me go read all their Reddit comments. It happened February 27, and they said it took 2 months for their insurance to get processed. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me to wait until they've got everything sorted out before posting.
Based on pictures of the dash cam files they posted, I don't think they have internal video, they would have had to turn it on before hand I think? Tesla mostly talks about sentry mode internal camera, so I don't actually know if it would record by default.
But again, I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to edit a video with face blurring and everything, they don't owe the Internet anything, and not everyone even knows how.
I'll be honest I don't know for sure they're being truthful, but I'm certainly a lot less skeptical about than you. I think enough of their story checks out that I'm not going to discount it based on lack of additional info alone. I haven't seen them contradict themselves anywhere.
What about the lies about the version of FSD?
The version they claim to have had at the time wasn’t actually available at that time.
They have provided literally zero evidence that FSD was on. None whatsoever.
There's plenty of evidence of other people with the same v13.2.8 version before their crash on Feb 27, for example:
