Tesla's statement is actually accurate in crashes with fixed objects. Yes, vehicle weight must be accounted for in multi vehicle crashes, But there's no way to do a comparison if you do that. Who knows if you're crashing into a semi or into a smart car?
I am willing to bet the real issue is that the major car companies are putting pressure on the NHTSA to clamp down on Tesla.
I am glad Tesla is sticking to its guns and not backing down.
- reitzensteinm 7y agoYeah, let's invent a conspiracy to explain the NHTSA asking Tesla once to modify its marketing to fit its guidelines, and escalating in private by referring to another agency only when Tesla doubles down. Who knows if you're crashing in to a smart or a semi is actually the agency's point.
