Tesla found partly liable in a wrongful death lawsuit involving a 2019 pedestrian death in Florida.
Tesla claimed it did not have the fatal crash's data until a hacker recovered it from the crashed car.
The company, known for providing customer data to rebut claims, said it had no data in this case.
Lawyers sought the 'collision snapshot'—data from the car's cameras and sensors before and after the crash.
After the snapshot was uploaded to Tesla's servers, the local copy was marked for deletion, and someone at Tesla may have deleted the server copy.
