Both.
It is fair to do a detailed investigation of the fires as the regulator is fairly unfamiliar with high speed electric vehicle crashes and any resulting fires and so from the regulators perspective it is wise to be cautious, because if they get it wrong they could suffer considerable political fallout.
It is also fair for Tesla to feel that it is getting unfairly overscrutinised by the regulator, because it probably is compared to a manufacturer selling a similar number of petrol cars.
- jusben1369 13y agoYou guys are right. Most of the "unjust" complaints have been against the media vs the government: From Twitter: @elonmusk What makes this incredibly unjust is that the Model S to date has the best safety record of any car on the road (no injuries or deaths ever) 14d @elonmusk Why does a Tesla fire w no injury get more media headlines than 100,000 gas car fires that kill 100s of people per year?
