Consumer Description

INCIDENT INVOLVING FSD (SUPERVISED) v14.2.2.4. On February 15, 2026, while the vehicle was operating under Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.2.2.4, the system failed to detect a stationary curb. The vehicle initiated a trajectory that resulted in a collision, causing a structural gouge in the passenger-side rear tire sidewall. Per MA 540 CMR 4.04, this damage renders the vehicle unroadworthy. I have saved Dashcam/Sentry video footage as proof of the system's failure to navigate the obstacle.
