2026 TESLA ROBOTAXI (MODEL Y) — Complaint #2103275
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:AUTONOMOUS/SELF DRIVING filed June 24, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2103275 (ODI reference 11668806) concerns a 2026 TESLA ROBOTAXI (MODEL Y) and was filed on June 24, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 23, 2025. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:adas:autonomous/self driving, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TESLA ROBOTAXI (MODEL Y) cohort independently describe similar electrical system:adas:autonomous/self driving failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2026 TESLA ROBOTAXI (MODEL Y) shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
