NHTSA Declines to Investigate Tesla's Door Design Despite Complaints
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has decided not to investigate complaints regarding defects in Tesla’s mechanical door release system. The agency stated that existing safety regulations do not adequately address the reported shortcomings, and therefore denied a petition for an investigation. This decision comes after reviewing available information related to potential design flaws with how doors open on certain Tesla models. While concerns were raised about driver accessibility during emergencies or accidents, NHTSA concluded there was insufficient cause for further action at this time.
