Safety of Tesla systems questioned by independent investigation. June 13, 2026 A Reuters investigation has revealed serious flaws in Tesla's self-driving software and exposed methodological errors in its official road accident statistics. The report based its findings on direct interviews with former employees involved in artificial intelligence training and on analysis by transportation safety experts. The collected testimonies contradict the automaker's public claims about the reliability of its driverless vehicles and their imminent international rollout. The journalistic revelation comes at a critical moment for Elon Musk's company, given its promises to commercialize robotaxis in the near future. Experts warn that the discrepancy between corporate data and operational reality hinders the company's ability to obtain the necessary government permits for public passenger transport. Documenting these technical inconsistencies places the American firm's autonomous mobility strategy under regulatory scrutiny. Distrust in the AI training team. The reporting included in-depth interviews with nine former data labelers who annotated the visual data used to train Tesla's Full Self-Driving system. Seven of the nine specialists explicitly stated that they do not trust this software for personal use due to the constant errors they witnessed daily in test recordings. The labelers highlighted recurring AI failures, noting that the system struggled to identify stationary road hazards, construction zones, and moving emergency vehicles. The technical staff also indicated the existence of strong internal pressure within the development teams to prioritize route flow over safety margins. Programmers were required to adjust algorithm parameters to prevent sudden braking or hesitant vehicle behavior in complex urban environments. This management approach weakened risk control protocols in the pre-validation of software updates. Inconsistencies in accident statistics. The investigation revealed that Tesla artificially inflates its road safety records by a factor of up to three compared to the reality on the roads. The analysis determined that the corporation's methodology is biased, as it compares serious crashes involving its new models only against broad federal statistics that include minor collisions across the entire national vehicle fleet. Ten of the eleven independent traffic safety researchers consulted by the agency rated the company's reporting metrics as deceptive marketing. The written report demonstrated that the company's reports omit incidents occurring on secondary roads or those that do not trigger the vehicle's airbags. This systematic exclusion of data obscures the true frequency of minor accidents and distorts the calculation of collision-free mileage. Traffic authorities are currently evaluating these methodological findings as part of the technical audits they conduct on the American firm's prototypes.

Tesla expands India footprint with new Experience Centre in Hyderabad. Electric vehicle (EV) giant Tesla is set to strengthen its presence in India with the launch of its first Experience Centre in Hyderabad's Knowledge City, Hitec City. The facility will mark Tesla's fifth Experience Centre in the country, reflecting the company's growing commitment to one of the world's fastest-expanding automobile markets. The Hyderabad centre joins Tesla's existing locations in Mumbai, New Delhi, Gurugram, and Bengaluru. The move comes at a time when the American EV manufacturer is actively expanding its retail footprint in India and seeking to establish a stronger connection with Indian consumers interested in premium electric mobility. Tesla's India journey has been closely watched for years. After prolonged discussions regarding import duties and market conditions, the company officially entered the Indian market by introducing the Model Y. Rather than immediately setting up a manufacturing facility, Tesla has initially focused on establishing a retail and customer experience network across major metropolitan cities. This approach allows the company to to measure consumer demand, build brand awareness, and create the necessary infrastructure for future expansion. Industry experts believe Tesla's current strategy revolves around testing market potential before making larger investments in manufacturing and supply-chain operations. India's growing EV adoption and government support for clean mobility make it an increasingly attractive market for the company. The Telangana government has played an active role in attracting Tesla to Hyderabad. State officials have engaged with Tesla representatives to explore opportunities for retail, service, and potential future investments. Telangana has consistently positioned itself as a destination for technology-driven industries, electric mobility, and advanced manufacturing. The state's proactive industrial policies, robust infrastructure, and investor-friendly environment have helped Hyderabad emerge as a preferred destination for global technology companies. Tesla's decision to establish an Experience Centre in the city is being viewed as a validation of Telangana's efforts to attract world-class enterprises. Hyderabad has rapidly developed into one of India's leading technology and innovation hubs. The city is home to several EV startups, battery technology firms, research institutions, and mobility-focused enterprises. Government initiatives promoting sustainable transportation and charging infrastructure have further accelerated the growth of the ecosystem. The arrival of Tesla is expected to strengthen this momentum by increasing consumer awareness of electric mobility and encouraging further investment in EV-related technologies. Industry observers believe Tesla's presence could act as a catalyst for broader adoption of electric vehicles across Telangana and neighbouring regions. Tesla's entry into Hyderabad is likely to generate opportunities for local startups working in clean technology, battery management systems, charging infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and mobility solutions. As one of the world's most influential EV manufacturers, Tesla often drives innovation throughout the ecosystem wherever it establishes a presence. For startups, the company's arrival could create new avenues for collaboration, talent development, and investment. It may also encourage entrepreneurs to explore emerging sectors linked to sustainable transportation and renewable energy. While Tesla has not officially announced manufacturing operations in India, industry analysts view the company's expanding retail network as an important first step toward deeper engagement with the market. Continued growth in demand, supportive policy measures, and improvements in charging infrastructure could influence future decisions regarding local production and supply-chain development. For Hyderabad, the new Experience Centre represents more than just a retail outlet. It symbolizes the city's growing status as a destination for global innovation and clean technology investment. As India accelerates its transition toward sustainable mobility, Tesla's presence in Hyderabad could become a significant milestone in the country's evolving EV story.
Tesla adds FSD streak celebrations in FSD V14.3.4. Tesla is adding on-screen celebrations for milestone streaks in Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Owners are beginning to see animated confetti and congratulatory banners when reaching specific distances without interventions. David Moss (@DavidMoss) reported seeing multiple pop-ups on his 2025 Model 3 that recognized several milestones at once. "My 2025 Model 3 screen this morning when backing out of the driveway just randomly congratulated me all at once back to back on passing FSD streak of 250, 500, 1000, & 5000 miles," he said on X, adding that his current FSD streak is 8,767 miles without an intervention. Moss has previously gone almost 13,000 miles on FSD without a single intervention and completed the first fully autonomous, coast-to-coast drive across Canada. Shared photos show the center display covered in bright, multi-colored digital confetti. A banner in the driving visualization reads "X mi Streak Reached." The evolution of FSD gamification. Recent updates have steadily added gamified elements to FSD. FSD v14.2 introduced a Self-Driving Stats section in the vehicle menu to track the overall ratio of autonomous versus manual miles. Version 14.3.3 later added intervention-less FSD streaks and a streak widget on the left side of the main screen, positioned above the speed limit sign. The software now highlights milestones at 250, 500, 1,000, and 5,000 miles. The celebrations are officially rolling out with FSD v14.3.4, which began reaching consumer vehicles with software update 2026.14.6.10. The same update also brings Actually Smart Summon (ASS) to the Cybertruck, along with additional new UI elements in FSD v14.3.4. While streak rewards can keep owners engaged, they may also create an incentive to avoid manual takeovers during challenging scenarios in order to preserve stats, which could introduce risk or produce lower-quality data. Mobile app integration and leaderboards. The new confetti-style celebrations align with assets recently discovered in the Tesla mobile app. Earlier this month, version 4.57.5 of the app added images depicting a trophy and floating ribbons, with filenames "challenge-2-ribbon" and "challenge-2-trophy." These assets could be destined for future in-app challenges, or they may tie into the new FSD streak celebrations and a possible mobile streak dashboard. Future updates could also enable sharing milestone streaks with others or even introduce global leaderboards for the longest intervention-free drives.
