It appears Tesla has been quietly altering its digital footprint. Observant individuals, including journalists from Electrek, discovered that Tesla has removed all its blog posts from before 2019. These posts were a significant part of the company’s history, detailing everything from Elon Musk’s original master plan to the first fatal accident involving Autopilot in a Model S, and various claims about the performance of its electric vehicles. Neither Tesla nor Musk have offered any explanation for this removal.

Luckily, archive.org still retains a backup of these posts.

This isn't Tesla's first attempt at reshaping its historical record. A few years back, the company deleted a blog post that advocated for the use of radar as a critical sensor for vehicle safety. In 2021, Tesla ceased using radar in its electric vehicles.
