Senators Call on Tesla to Address Safety Flaws

Blumenthal and Markey urge Musk to correct misleading representations to NHTSA

Senators Richard Blumenthal and Edward Markey have written a letter to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, expressing concern over the company's alleged concealment of safety flaws in its vehicles from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The letter refers to a Reuters investigation that found Tesla frequently blaming drivers for parts failures they knew to be faulty.
The senators have asked Musk to correct the “apparent false and misleading representations” made to the NHTSA.
Tesla has defended its position on social media, calling the article’s headline “wildly misleading” and stating that the story had “incomplete and demonstrably incorrect information.”
Regulatory bodies in countries like Sweden and Norway are also investigating Tesla’s safety issues, specifically suspension failures.
