Tesla is having a hard time turning over its FSD traffic violation data
Tesla has secured a second deadline extension from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the agency’s investigation into traffic safety violations committed by vehicles operating with “Full Self-Driving” (FSD). The new filing, dated February 20, pushes the deadline for Tesla to deliver critical crash data, including video, event data recorder (EDR), and CAN bus files, to March 9, 2026. The original deadline was January 19.
Today was supposed to be the day Tesla finally delivered all its data to NHTSA after a first five-week extension. Instead, Tesla asked for more time on February 19, the day before the deadline, and NHTSA granted it the next day.
