Tesla received a cease-and-desist letter from US agency over Model 3 safety claims.
The agency’s main contention was with Tesla’s claim in a blog post that NHTSA tests showed the Model 3 has “the lowest probability of injury of all cars the safety agency has ever tested.”
It was “not the first time” Tesla had disregarded NHTSA guidelines in a manner that may lead to consumer confusion and give Tesla an unfair market advantage.”
