Tesla‘s Robotaxi fleet recorded no at-fault crashes with other vehicles between mid-June and mid-July, according to the latest incident reports published under the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Standing General Order. The pattern was first flagged by Tesla shareholder Sawyer Merritt on X this Monday. Three incidents were logged, all dated June 2026 and all classified as property damage with no injuries reported. In each, the narrative Tesla submitted describes another vehicle striking a stationary Robotaxi. The first happened in Austin. A Robotaxi was stopped at a red left-turn arrow, in the dedicated left-turn lane of a four-lane street. An SUV behind it signaled right, moved into the neighboring through-lane, and struck a car already traveling straight in that lane. The SUV then continued into the stationary Robotaxi, hitting its right side. No one was riding in the Tesla. The second happened in Dallas, when a Robotaxi was pulled over and in park on the right side of an alleyway. A vehicle parked to the right reversed and collided with the Robotaxi’s right side. The Tesla was again empty and stationary throughout. The third, also in Austin, was more serious as one passenger was present inside the vehicle. In both cases, the ADS made no maneuver that contributed to the collision, according to the narratives Tesla submitted to NHTSA. Tesla said that “the construction truck stopped abruptly, forcing the Tesla ADS to stop in the area of reduced roadway width, then the truck reversed into the Tesla ADS’s front right.” The third one, also in Austin, was more serious as one passenger was present inside the vehicle. According to Tesla, its Model Y “was proceeding straight in a parking lot behind an SUV. As the SUV came to stop, the ADS came to a stop behind the SUV.”
