This is something Electrek does regularly and isn't unique to this article but I don't like how they suggests the Tesla crash reports are doing something shady by following the reporting guidelines. Tesla is reporting things by the books, and when Electrek doesn't like how the laws are laid out they blame Tesla. Electrek wants Tesla to publish separate press notes, and since they don't they take their frustration out on the integrity of the article, which is worse for everyone.


According to the OP, all other autonomous driving companies publish complete accident reports.


This is (one of) my point(s), Tesla does publish accident reports to all the major government agencies, and then those agencies make them public. Electrek wants a press packet, which Tesla isn't doing for them. In response, they try to make it sound like Tesla is shady and hiding things, or otherwise acting in some nefarious manor nobody else could think to act in. It feels disingenuous and will only serve to hurt autonomous driving optics for all companies

Electrek says they aren't made public, if I understand correctly (?). Do you know where the public can access them - do you have any links?
