a crash with a bus while the Tesla vehicle was stopped
Uuh…wouldn’t that be the fault of the bus? I mean, the system is faulty as fuck so there’s really no need to mix in shit like this, it reduces legitimacy of the otherwise very valid criticism.
Entirely possible, but all incidents are counted as it would probably be difficult to produce reliable stats where you’re leaving out some based on some kind of an assessment of blame.
Because Tesla hides most of the details unlike the competition we can’t really look at a specific one and know.

That depends entirely where the Tesla stopped, and under what conditions.

Eh, not really though. Generally if your car is stopped, even in the middle of the road, you are not at fault if someone else hits you. You can still get fined for obstruction of traffic, but the incident is entirely the fault of the moving vehicle.

If you stop in the middle of a highway you absolutely are at fault.

Tesla robotaxis don’t go anywhere near highways currently.

If there is a massive object in the road and you stop on the highway, and someone rear ends you, the person rear ending you is at fault. The person behind you needs to leave enough space to be able to stop, and needs to be paying attention for any emergency braking situations. Regardless, these aren’t on the highway

I’m betting it stopped in the path of it. Either by pulling out in front of it, or sitting on the inside of the truck whilst turning.
