Analysis Summary
Tesla presented self-published safety statistics to European regulators for its Full Self-Driving system that independent researchers said misrepresented the data, and Sweden's transport authority is recommending the EU reject approval due to safety concerns including speed-limit violations. U.S. senators have separately asked federal regulators to scrutinize Tesla's self-reported crash statistics. The core story is verified across multiple outlets, though the Reddit headline uses the more dramatic framing 'cooked data' where the sources describe 'misleading' claims โ a distinction worth noting since 'cooked' implies intentional fraud while the reporting focuses on statistical presentation choices. European regulators have the FSD system under active review as of June 2026.
