Another day another preventable Tesla death from a single vehicle crash, after failing to stay on the road.
The Canfield Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol are investigating a fatal crash.
The crash occurred approximately at 4:28 p.m. on West Calla Rd. Monday evening.
Kyle Soli of Salem was operating a 2025 Tesla Model 3 and travelled off the right side of the road, striking a mailbox, ditch, culvert, multiple trees and overturning several times before coming to rest on all four tires.
Soli was the only occupant in the car, and was transported to the hospital where he died from his injuries.
A 2025 model? Who in 2024 is looking at the data and buying a 2025 model Tesla? This doesn’t bode well for anyone even thinking about buying a new Tesla.
Tesla vehicles suffer fatal accidents at a rate that’s twice the industry average, according to a new report.
Initial statements by police point to exactly the kind of accident Tesla’s CEO claims their technology should prevent. The driver’s Model 3 left the road and rolled multiple times after striking several objects.
The circumstances described are an alleged impairment, and advocating for seatbelt use. These highlight a dangerous contradiction: Tesla markets its driver assistance features as safety enhancers while its CEO publicly promotes the idea that their cars can safely transport sleeping drivers. This messaging is known to encourage dangerous behavior, adding to mounting concerns about Tesla’s safety record.
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) data shows fast rising death rates for the Model 3 directly contradict Tesla claims of superior safety.
When I read this documentation about Tesla’s oversight issues, my heart aches knowing how preventable the tragedy may have been. It is about more than corporate transparency, we need to be honoring Kyle’s memory and ensuring no other family has to experience such a devastating loss.
