Not ghosts, glitching due to computer errors.
SURPRISE GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Forecasters were surprised yesterday, June 28th, when a CME struck Earth and caused a severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storm. The CME was expected, but the severity of the storm was not; it was supposed to be a minor G1-class event.

The computer errors from outer space
When computers go wrong, we tend to assume it's just some software hiccup, a bit of bad programming. But ionising radiation, including rays of protons blasted towards us by the sun, can also be the cause. These incidents, called single-event upsets, are rare and it can be impossible to be sure that cosmic rays were involved in a specific malfunction because they leave no trace behind them.
And yet they have been singled out as the possible culprits behind numerous extraordinary cases of computer failure. From a vote-counting machine that added thousands of non-existent votes to a candidate's tally, to a commercial airliner that suddenly dropped hundreds of feet mid-flight, injuring dozens of passengers
Plus, since giant ejections from the sun can sometimes send huge waves of particles towards Earth, what's called space weather, an unnerving prospect looms: we could see much more disruption to computers than we're used to during a massive geomagnetic storm in the future
Doesnt take massive geomagnetic storms to cause multiple Teslas to go out of control like over the weekend. Although the storm briefly hit G4 conditions and at least 4 Teslas veered off course into oncoming traffic on Saturday and Sunday that i have found so far.
An investigation by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau found that, prior to the erratic behaviour of the plane, erroneous computer data in the on-board systems had misrepresented the angle at which the aircraft was flying. This prompted the two automated nose-dives. As for what actually set off this chain of events, the report noted: "there was insufficient evidence available to determine whether [an ionising particle altering computer data] could have triggered the failure mode" – meaning that it remains a possibility. In contrast, all the other possible triggers considered by investigators were judged as "very unlikely" and one other as "unlikely".
With the rise of self-driving car technology, it's possible that computer systems on these vehicles could malfunction due to cosmic rays. What if, during an automated trip, imagery from a camera mounted at the front of the car became corrupted and the on-board computer failed to spot a person walking out in front of the vehicle?
However, the research is yet to be published and he says he's not allowed to reveal what the starting level of accuracy was during the experiments.
Such interventions could make self-driving cars of the future safer but they wouldn't eliminate the possibility of a cosmic ray causing other problems. And this raises an interesting conundrum for insurers.
"In a world of fully autonomous vehicles, how can you prove the accident happened because of cosmic rays?" says Rech. "That is very challenging. I mean, it's impossible, by definition." In ambiguous cases, disputes over whether a human or technology manufacturer – or space weather – was at fault might be difficult to resolve
Impossible to prove but can and does happen. Can even be emulated in a lab setting.

Looks like two more veer accidents over the weekend bringing the total to 4. Busy weekend of Teslas veering into oncoming traffic.
Proof Electromagnetic radiation is causing EVs to go out of control and spontaneously combust.
4). Among the data records during the accidents according to the background data of the crashed vehicles or the data of on-vehicle terminals, the position values of most accelerator pedals were very high(99%) while the values of brake pedals were 0% or only non-zero in very limited moments (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
Continued very high accelerator pressure with no braking is how you differentiate SUA from pedal misapplication.
In recent years, there have been numerous out-of-control accidents of electric vehicles.
Occasional fault of electronic control unit caused by electromagnetic interference
External electromagnetic interference refers to that caused by electromagnetic radiation of various electrical facilities including the high voltage transmission line, broadcasting TV devices and radio communication equipment as well as natural phenomena such as lightning.
Electromagnetic wave interferes the electric control system of automobile through wiring harness and car body to make it hard to perform or even send wrong instructions leading to wrong actions of various actuators, affecting the safety, reliability and stability of automobile driving. The electromagnetic interference affects the automobile electronic control system mainly in two ways: one is to affect the input signal of the sensor of the electronic control system, causing distortion and resulting in electric control signal where the ECU output does not match the driver's intention, which leads to the wrong operation of the actuator; the other is to interfere the ECU output signal to result in its deviation, misleading the operation of the actuator.

Isnt it odd theres a pump before Tesla releases its Q2 numbers? Ahh this is likely why, another YoY drop expected but up over Q1. Things are going to get worse, as in more uncertain, as the year progresses and we get closer to the US presidential election. A market correction of overinflated prices, is way overdue and maybe in store post election.
Tesla reports second-quarter global vehicle deliveries on Tuesday with analysts expecting the total to come in under the current consensus.
Analysts, as of Monday, predict global second-quarter Tesla deliveries will total 436,000 vehicles, according to FactSet. The consensus view at the end of May called for 448,000 deliveries. It has dropped 3% since then.
The current estimate would be down 6.5% compared to last year's 466,140 deliveries. But it would be a 13% increase compared to Q1.
However, many analysts believe Tesla deliveries will come in below 436,000. On Friday, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, a longtime Tesla bull, wrote deliveries should approach that consensus number. He added that "whisper numbers" are in the 415,000-420,000 range.

To reinforce Tesla's veer issue, that seems to impact vehicles with/without AP enabled & every model and year, here are a few incidents that showcase Teslas behave just like that Vinfast EV the NHTSA is investigating (EVs are more dangerous than ICE!). I suspect that Tesla's emergency lane departure system combined with a possible GPS issue, as described in this first case study from 2019, cause this problem due to a glitch brought on by Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
Here is the best description of this sudden veering ive seen to date:
A Tesla driver claims the autopilot feature on his car took over seconds before he veered off a New Jersey road, and he blamed the vehicle’s technology for the crash.
The Tesla Model X veered to the right suddenly, and the steering wheel locked into place as a message appeared that a new lane was detected, Carter told police.
Police said the car went off-road, hit a curb, struck traffic signs and then drove over another curb before it stopped in a grassy area.
========================================
There was this incident back in May where again the driver claims to lost ability to steer and its momentum was only stopped, like this Compass, upon striking a small tree and shrub. Otherwise they would have gone into Moorings Bay.
The Naples Police Department confirmed to NBC2 that the driver reported losing the ability to steer, which caused the vehicle to go off the road prior to being able to stop. Additionally, there are no pending charges for the driver.
“They hit the mailbox, and then they came across the curb, hit the fire hydrant, set it off, and then hit a bunch of their landscape,” she said. “They hit the fire hydrant, so it was going off like crazy. We would’ve had to dive in and try to rescue them from their vehicle, but it was literally just a small little tree and shrub that kept them from going into the canal.”
========================================
Most recently there was this accident where it appears the speed up and veering occurred:
Dr. Alfred Valles, 50, and Selina Valles, 46, were killed at 9:30 p.m. Friday when they were traveling north on Friant Road and crashed into a tree in the middle divider of Friant near Rice Road, north of Champlain Drive.
Police confirmed Monday the vehicle involved was a Tesla. At the scene Friday night, police said the Valles were traveling at a high rate of speed and that a small fire was sparked near the site; it was extinguished quickly by the fire department.
As you can see the road is perfectly straight here making one wonder why they suddenly veered into the median.
========================================
I could go on and on about Teslas suddenly veering, but i'll finish with this one where an off duty county sheriff experienced this same problem resulting in the death of the driver of the F250.
For an unknown reason," according to police, the Tesla veered across the center lane and into the right lane, where it collided with the Ford pickup.
As a result of the collision, Vallier lost control of the Ford F250 and crossed the center lane into the left lane and, then, onto the grassy median, where it began to roll over, police said.

Should be more out of control accidents this weekend due to a G4 geomagnetic storm.
Exactly as predicted. This is accident #2 so far and the second Tesla to veer into oncoming traffic.
Milford Man Killed In 2-Vehicle Crash; Multiple Others Injured
A Milford man was killed and nine others, including children, were injured in a two-vehicle crash Saturday evening.
The fatal accident occurred on CR 150W, approximately 1,500 feet south of CR 400N, in Plain Township, according to a news release from the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office.
KCSO deputies and emergency personnel responded Saturday at 5:35 p.m. to the two-vehicle accident on CR 150W. Emergency personnel arrived on scene and located a 2024 Tesla, driven by Anish Daita, 31, Warsaw, and a 2007 Chevrolet driven by Joseph Criswell, 44, Milford, involved in the crash.
Preliminary crash investigation determined that Daita was northbound on CR 150W and was left of center and hit the vehicle driven by Criswell, whose vehicle was southbound on CR 150W, the release states. The crash was a head-on collision.
Daita suffered internal injuries and was transported to Lutheran Fort Wayne. Two other adult passengers in the Tesla were treated and released at the scene, suffering from minor lacerations and bruising.
Criswell was pronounced dead at the scene by the Kosciusko County Coroner’s Office from injuries suffered in the crash. Six juvenile passengers in that vehicle were treated for varying injuries: two female juveniles were flown to Fort Wayne Lutheran for treatment of their injuries, one juvenile female was ground transported to Lutheran, one female was treated at the scene for her injuries and two male juveniles were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Loss of steering control cause another accident?

Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue
Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/
The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their rusting, softening, fracturing, complete breaking, even dustification. Keep in mind the degree of metal materials that are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete. Maybe this is why we are seeing an increase in building and bridge collapses?

Tesla Cybertruck owner reports major crash due to brake failure
Bruce Freshwater, owner of a brand-new Tesla Cybertruck, experienced a severe crash into his neighbor's yard due to an alleged brake failure. He reported that the vehicle's brakes stopped working during the incident. "I held the brakes down, and the vehicle really wasn't slowing down," Freshwater told Business Insider. Fortunately, the airbags were deployed on time, preventing any significant damage to the passengers.
The local body shop estimates the repair costs for the Cybertruck to be between $16,000 and $30,000. This incident has been a significant setback for Freshwater who had already paid $109,000 for the vehicle. "Waited five years and drove for four hours," he expressed his frustration on X, urging Tesla to take responsibility.

Should be more out of control accidents this weekend due to a G4 geomagnetic storm.
Sure enough, early this morning...Its amazing how these two things correlate. Its almost as if its cause and effect. Like disturbed geomagnetic field causes surface based magnetic activity which then induces currents inside a passing Teslas resulting in accidents like this one if the passing Tesla experiences glitching because of the EM disturbance. The chances of this are really low which is why so few Teslas go out of control like this on a weekly basis. That said, the more Teslas and EVs that are on the roads during enhanced geomagnetic activity, the greater chances this will happen resulting in more unnecessary accidents. EVs are an inherent danger to society due to the weakening geomagnetic field. As the earths magnetic field continues to weaken the chances of more EM interference grows for all technology.
Man, 31, killed in crash between bus and car on main York road
A 31-year-old man was killed and five others injured after a crash between a car and bus in York, police said.
The man was a passenger in a white Tesla Model 3 car which collided with a blue and white double decker bus on the B1224 Wetherby Road, close to the junction with the York outer ring road (A1237), at around 9.20am today (Saturday, June 29).
An eyewitness who drove past the scene told The Press the bus was an open top double decker tour bus heading in the direction of York.
The car was travelling in the opposite direction, they said, adding that the car was badly damaged after the collision.
This suggests the Tesla driver lost control of steering and the Tesla veered into oncoming traffic.

NHTSA Petition Claims Tesla Sudden Unintended Acceleration Is Real
New information received by the NHTSA shows that sudden unintended acceleration events with Tesla EVs were real and not driver errors. The report explains in detail what caused the cars to accelerate even when the accelerator pedal was not pressed.
What's worse is that the incorrectly increased sensor signals will be sent via the CAN bus to the vehicle logs, causing Tesla and NHTSA to conclude that the driver caused the sudden increase in torque by stepping on the accelerator pedal. But in this case, the sudden acceleration was caused not by the driver stepping on the accelerator pedal but by a random superposition of a negative-going voltage spike (which is about 100 microseconds long), and the sampling time of the analog-to-digital converter (which is about 10 microseconds long). This random superposition explains the low occurrence rate of sudden acceleration in Tesla vehicles
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/breaking-nhtsa-petition-shows-tesla-s-sudden-unintended-acceleration-is-real-and-curable-217525.html
As posted previously this new petition will likely be dismissed as I don't think Teslas SUA problem is easily fixed as Dr. Belt suggests. Furthermore, Tesla is aware of its SUA problem, trying to fix it, and hasnt managed to yet.
What can cause the random negative voltage spikes is from induced currents from Electromagnetic Interference. As explained in the following quote, E3 wave (which is similar to conditions during a geostorm) causes voltage depression in power lines and it seems in Tesla system as well. Like regulators at a substation, Tesla system seems to try to make up for this voltage depression causing voltage spikes leading to SUA and logs recording high accelerator pressure even though the driver hasn't touched the accelerator.
E3 can also affect subtransmission and distribution systems by causing harmonic distortion and voltage depression. The voltage regulators at the substation will attempt to correct for low voltage levels on distribution circuits. This attempt can result in overvoltages when the E3 stimulus decays to a low value

According to Washington Post, this was FSD related accident
"Von Ohain fought to regain control of the vehicle, but, to his surprise and horror, his efforts were prevented by the vehicle's Autopilot features, leaving him helpless and unable to steer back on course," a wrongful death lawsuit filed in May by von Ohain's wife, Nora Bass, alleged.
Yet for some reason, articles like this often say autopilot when the accident was FSD related. Almost like they are purposefully trying to confuse readers so they dont associate these incidents with FSD.

Plus, since giant ejections from the sun can sometimes send huge waves of particles towards Earth, what's called space weather, an unnerving prospect looms: we could see much more disruption to computers than we're used to during a massive geomagnetic storm in the future

Tesla suffers SUA and drives into a parking garage wall.
I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.

Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue
Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their rusting, softening, fracturing, complete breaking, even dustification. Keep in mind the degree of metal materials that are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete. Maybe this is why we are seeing an increase in building and bridge collapses?
