Tesla Deaths

Tesla Deaths is a record of Tesla accidents that involved a driver, occupant, cyclist, motorcyclist, or pedestrian death, whether or not the Tesla or its driver were at fault

Tesla Deaths

We provide an updated record of Tesla fatalities and Tesla accident deaths that have been reported and as much related crash data as possible (e.g. location of crash, names of deceased, etc.). This sheet also tallies each claimed and confirmed Tesla autopilot crash, i.e. every instance of when Autopilot was activated during a Tesla crash that resulted in death. Read our other sheets for additional data and analysis on tesla crash crash per vehicle miles traveled, links and analysis comparing Musk's safety claims, and more.

Tesla Deaths Total as of : 373 | Tesla Autopilot Deaths Count: 19 | Other Totals

Latest update: Updated with February 2023 incidents.


We have received requests to collect data to compare the number of Tesla-related fatalities to the collective number of deaths involving other manufacturers' electric vehicles, e.g. Audi with its eTron, VW with ID4, etc. To help with our research, we encourage visitors to please submit any news articles, official statements, or verifiable accounts of non-Tesla electric vehicle deaths by using the Contact Us forms. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many Tesla Autopilot crashes have resulted in death?

Based on cross-verified data from NHTSA investigations and reports (e.g. telemtric data from Tesla compiled in the NHTSA Standing General Order on Crash Reporting ("SGO") portal) as well as expert testimony in court cases pertaining to the specific crashes, the confirmed total of Tesla Autopilot crashes, i.e. incidents where Autopilot was active within 30 seconds of the crash, is currently sixteen crashes leading to nineteen deaths. Of note, there are three incidents each involving one fatality reported in the SGO that we have yet to cross-verify with media coverage.

Q: What does all of this mean? What can we compare these Tesla accident numbers to?

The IIHS periodically releases fatality data based on car by type and driver deaths per million registered vehicle years. The closest categorization to apply to Tesla's is large or midsized luxury SUVs as they certainly are not cheap, what with the total cost of a hard-to-find standard Model 3 is still more than 35,000 USD. As shown by the IIHS chart, there are multiple models that have zero. We invite the users to calculate the rates for the other models to understand the comparison better. Furthermore, we attempt to calculate the million registered miles per death for the Tesla fleet based on information from the company itself, but mileage data is no longer released.

Q: Why do you include deaths where the Tesla was not at fault?

NHTSA death statistics cited by Elon Musk do not differentiate between at-fault and not-at-fault. All manufacturers are treated the same way. For the purposes of calculating Tesla fatalities in accordance with NHTSA methodology, we also do not include the many deaths in other vehicles, despite Teslas being at fault in the majority of those cases.

Q: Why do you include deaths in other vehicles, as well as pedestrian and cyclist deaths?

There is also a column that shows only driver deaths.

Q: Your data captures all driving miles. But Autopilot is safer!

See the Jalopnik article on the Resources tab, which discusses the NHTSA coverup of Autopilot data.

Q: You are just counting deaths in news articles. You can't base any conclusions on that.

Deaths reported in news articles are a lower bound on Tesla deaths and Tesla accidents in general.

Q: Tesla only has 3x the driver deaths of luxury vehicles because you're comparing Tesla to Lamborghinis and Bugattis that are seldom driven.

No. The 'Medium' article on the Resources tab compares Teslas to BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes.

Q: You include a death where a piece of concrete fell on a Tesla. That's absurd!

See the first question above. Auto fatality statistics include all deaths, no matter how absurd. So to compare Tesla to other vehicles, we need to include all deaths.
