      Proof by looking at internal information and data.

      The data leaked by Krupski included lists of Tesla employees, often featuring their social security numbers, in addition to thousands of accident reports, and internal Tesla communications. Handelsblatt and others have used these internal memos and emails as the basis for stories on the dangers of Autopilot and the reasons for the three-year delay in Cybertruck deliveries. From NYT:

        How does any of that prove the claim? Surely independent crash data would show these vehicles are involved in many more accidents than other vehicles if it’s true, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

      Is it really whistleblowing

      It is, and it is important.

      Employees are usually bound by loyalty and contract not to tell any internals. But public knowledge often needs confirmation, otherwise it is only rumours.
