If you can't beat them, join them.

If you can't join them because you didn't think batteries were important enough to start your own production nearly a decade ago so now you are nearly a decade behind where you should be to remain competitive? Just call up your lawyer uncle to go after them, after all he got you a yacht last time this happened.

Without spending millions on an investigation, I can tell you in 99.99% (if not 100%) of these crashes the driver is at fault. The feds should be investigating the drivers for negligence, not investigating Tesla. If I were to stab my neighbor with a Ginsu knife who would be investigated? Me or Ginsu? This is probably one of the reasons why Tesla wasn’t invited to the recent event. Couldn’t very well be shaking hands with someone you knew you were about to investigate. Just an attempt to drag Tesla down.

This article title is misleading as hell.

There have not been 765,000 incidents involving Teslas, let alone that many involving autopilot.

That would be half of all Teslas on the road today.

There were 11 accidents under investigation. The same 11 accidents which have been under investigation for the past year or so. This story keeps getting recycled as if it were new.

“Formal investigation“ as if it wasn’t formal before before since it was in the headlines for days…

Something missing here. First it says accident involving parked responders. Then it mentions the dumb butts that were at fault. Also, only less than 20for a billion miles. This a fishing expedition. Just like the idiot in Houston who killed himself and buddy showing off. Or man asleep in Florida.
This is a fishing expedition.

Especially clueless since D.O.E. just gave Nicola a 2 million dollar grant. That could have been better spent on some Super Chargers or?!

Perspective

765,000 vehicles
11 accidents
17 injured
1 fatality

perspective is not meant to absolve Tesla of any culpability, wondering if a contrast was made with the same number of Ford, Chevy or other vehicles?

even through the hate, opportunities for improvement may surface.

The announcement is weird, but the investigation isn't. That is literally the NHTSA's job. Autonomous driving is a new technology, and will require oversight. Tesla isn't being singled-out, they're pushing the envelope so they have more data and more incidents.

Plus, any headline that includes "Tesla" gets clicks.

We’ve had adaptive cruise control for years. Autopilot is just a baby step above that.
