A 2025 Tesla Model 3 in Full-Self Driving mode drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media.

I just don't see how this technology could possibly be ready to power an autonomous taxi service by the end of next week.

February explains why he wasn't on 13.2.9.
Why would he reach out to Tesla? That's not his job, but the insurance.
But there is no point, because Tesla never takes responsibility in these cases.

It also means that he couldn't have been on version 13.2.8 which he claims he was on though.

My point in saying he didn't reach out to tesla is that if I owned a car that drove itself off the road into a tree, I'd reach out to tesla and ask them to investigate and see what they'll do for me for almost killing me. Insurance is a completely different story, they'll go and do their thing regardless.
