Unlike sudden “veered” Tesla crashes in the news multiple times a week, this Cybertruck case had a survivor.

The survivor’s father says he knows sudden steering failure was the cause of the crash.

This confirms the Tesla 2026 model problem, recently reported in an owner group forum, that steering suddenly fails. So the father is not stating something unknown or unusual, rather describing the real world outcome of a known defect.

We may be getting closer to documenting exactly how and why Tesla has been killing so many people so quickly, at a rate unlike any other car. Every single one of its dozens or even hundreds of “veered” crash deaths will now need to explained in context of a primary control failure.

This is an odd Tesla crash, and yet somehow common. A VW pulled into a lane to overtake another vehicle and then the Tesla crashed into the VW from behind, with such force that it flipped both cars upside down.

Ereignet hat sich der Crash am 6. Mai, einem Dienstag, gegen 14.45 Uhr zwischen den Ortschaften Stresow und Bandelin. Nach den bisherigen Erkenntnissen sei eine 23-jährige Deutsche von Greifswald in Richtung Jarmen unterwegs gewesen und mit ihrem Pkw VW zum Überholen ausgeschert, so Polizeisprecherin Franziska Höhne.

Dabei habe die junge Frau vermutlich einen hinter ihr fahrenden Pkw Tesla eines 73-jährigen Deutschen übersehen, welcher sich bereits im Überholvorgang befand. Deshalb sei es zu einem Zusammenstoß gekommen, infolgedessen sich beide Autos überschlugen.

The VW driver wasn’t injured but the Tesla driver later died.

Another sleeping Tesla driver?

Michigan State Police in Monroe responded to northbound I-75 near Sylvania Drive in South Rockwood at 5:20 a.m. on Thursday after motorists reported seeing headlights off the roadway in the grass.

Upon arrival, troopers located a 2018 Tesla Model 3 with an unresponsive 47-year-old male from Toledo inside.

A similar crash at 515 AM just killed a Tesla driver in Germany too.

In a crash very familiar to American roads, a Tesla has wedged itself at high speed under a truck trailer in Germany.

At approximately 5:15 a.m. a 58-year-old Tesla driver collided with the back of a truck between the Bargteheide motorway junction and the Buddikate rest area. The electric vehicle was trapped under the trailer.

Looking at the scene, it appears the truck was on the shoulder with the Tesla crashed under it. Did the truck pull over or was it already there? Given the early hour, the driver may have been sleeping. It’s unclear year after year why Tesla still can’t see the very large and obvious trucks around it.

A similar crash at 520 AM just killed a Tesla driver in Michigan too.
