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 vehicle miles traveled, links and analysis comparing Musk's safety claims, and more.

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 Tips form. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Based on cross-verified data from NHTSA reports and investigations 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 fourteen crashes leading to fifteen deaths. One extra incident involving one fatality that appeared in the NTHSA Standing General Order on Crash Reporting has yet to be cross-verified. Additionally, there are at least seven other incidents in the US alone that the NHTSA investigated according to a FOIA request from Reuters. Our dataset features the seven likely incidents.

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.

Available at IIHS.org

As of , we are aware of the following non-Tesla electric vehicle deaths:

August 12, 2021: Nio - ES8 - 1 death (https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3145672/fatal-crash-involving-nios-autopilot-function-sparks-online)

May 27, 2021: Nissan - Leaf - 1 death (https://bristowbeat.com/stories/young-man-dies-in-bristow-road-car-crash,6851)

Feb 28, 2020: Renault - Zoe - 2 deaths (https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/18268675.two-women-die-serious-car-crash-a27-near-chichester/)

May 29, 2012: BYD - e6 electric taxi - 1 death (https://www.greencarreports.com/...)

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.
