It seems that the Ministry of Truth has been busy at Tesla. Some sharp-eyed folks, including reporters at Electrek, noticed that Tesla has deleted all of its blog posts prior to 2019. Those blog posts are a digital history of the company, covering everything from CEO Elon Musk’s original master plan, to the first Autopilot fatality in a Model S, to declarations on the capability of its EVs. Neither the company, nor Musk, have explained why.
Lucky for us, archive.org still has a record.
This isn’t the first time Tesla has tried to edit its history. Several years ago, the company removed a post that supported the use of radar as an important sensor for vehicle safety. The company stopped using radar in its EVs in 2021.
