A comprehensive analysis conducted by The Wall Street Journal reveals safety concerns surrounding Tesla's Autopilot technology. The analysis, which combined federal filings with local police records, uncovered details about over 200 Tesla Autopilot-involved crashes. The findings indicate that Autopilot struggles to recognize obstacles and navigate certain scenarios, and crashes often occur when the vehicle loses traction. The analysis aligns with a recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report that identified a trend of "avoidable crashes" involving Teslas. However, both Tesla and the NHTSA withhold key information about crashes from the public. Tesla has reported over 1,200 Autopilot-related crashes to the NHTSA since 2021, and the company tightly controls access to crash data. [Extracted from the article]

Tesla's decision to use ultrahard stainless steel for the exterior of its Cybertruck has presented challenges in the manufacturing process. The stainless steel is difficult to bend and manipulate, resulting in body panels that don't line up correctly and large gaps when installed. Additionally, the metal's hardness makes it difficult to flatten, and it has a tendency to spring back into its curved form. While stainless steel is rarely used for vehicle bodies due to its lack of malleability and higher cost, Tesla chose it for its durability and resistance to corrosion. However, repairing dents and scratches on the Cybertruck may prove to be a challenge due to the metal's hardness. [Extracted from the article]
