Tesla Deaths

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.

Latest update: Added two new Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths based on latest data from NHTSA SGO.
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.

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: How many Tesla Autopilot crashes have resulted in death?
In the Tesla Deaths dataset, there are 33 "Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths" across 30 incidents. These deaths are defined as crashes involving a Tesla vehicle with Autopilot (i.e., Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and/or Autosteer) activated within 30 seconds prior to the crash. In all the cases, both features were active except for case number 102. For this case, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defect Investigations has not yet confirmed if both features were active or if only Traffic-Aware Cruise Control was in use.
The Tesla Deaths dataset relies on two types of data sources to confirm Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths. The first source is the Standing General Order on Crash Reporting Level 2 ADAS Report Data (SGO) flat file published by the NHTSA (see https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/ffdd/sgo-2021-01/SGO-2021-01_Incident_Reports_ADAS.csv). Using each updated version of this file, we filter for [Tesla, Inc.] as the column “Reporting Entity” and [Fatality] in the “Highest Injury” column. We then remove duplicate observations from NHTSA's SGO reports based on values in the “Same Vehicle ID” column. As of the April 2023 release, the NHTSA database contains 20 incidents, all of which the Tesla Deaths dataset accounts for. The Tesla Deaths case numbers corresponding to the incidents in the SGO report are 73, 85, 119, 133, 173, 198, 216, 219, 225, 226, 235, 247, 248, 253, 263, 265, 266.1, 269, 305, and 312.1.
The second source of Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths is derived from trusted news publications and publicly accessible court records. Trusted news publications encompass major media organizations such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. The articles utilized from these publications report conclusions from officials like NHTSA, crash scene investigators, and other sources . To verify that Autopilot was engaged within 30 seconds of the crash, we rely on expert witness testimonies found in publicly available court records. Archived URLs of the cited articles and court records are provided alongside each incident’s entry in the Tesla Deaths dataset. The Tesla Deaths case numbers for these 10 incidents and 11 deaths are 12, 15, 40, 42, 59, 63, 75, 101, 102, and 117.
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.
