IDK how those logs are generated or kept but I don’t put it passed Elon to have data rewritten in the event of or just prior to an expected crash. I’ve also heard reports of cars disengaging autopilot just before a crash to claim the “driver was in control” during the crash.
Warl0k3 has posted elsewhere in this thread with information about how these logs are generated and kept, they’re event data recorders. They need to meet federal standards which presumably would include protections against having the data rewritten like that. Seems likely that if this was being done it would be a serious crime and probably a bigger news story than the crash itself, do you have any actual sources?
You can’t gather intent necessarily from the data. Someone else also suggested they mistook the accelerator for the brake. No reports seem to mention if the driver was impaired but I doubt it’s normal for someone to attempt vehicular suicide stone-cold sober

Sorry, pure conjecture on my part. I just know Elon is as close to a Bond villain as it gets, they have released misleading reports for years, their fatal accident ratings are atrocious, Elon fired regulators that oversee his business, Tesla has lied about missing crash data, and there’s a fair amount of open lawsuits involving safety (some from whistleblowers).
Just saying accidental acceleration would be an easier pill to swallow if it was any other car brand.
It’s not accidental acceleration, though. The driver had the accelerator pressed 100%.
