Driver crashes Tesla after forgetting he'd disengaged FSD while posting on X
PTrubey · x · 2026-10-20
PTrubey recounts a real "mode confusion" scare: driving on FSD in his neighborhood while replying to an X post, he disengaged FSD before a turn because it unreliably handles road dips/swales and crosses them too fast. Seconds later, absorbed in posting, he forgot FSD was off — jumping the curb and clipping bushes at low speed. No injuries, minor scratches, but a serious wake-up call. Photo shows the scuffed front end.
