This year started with some difficulty for the electric car maker Tesla, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing in February that it launched an investigation into more than 400,000 Teslas after receiving 354 complaints about phantom braking.
Its investigation, which would later grow to eight total investigations, resulted in 14 recalls for Tesla's latest 2021 Model Y and 13 recalls for its 2021 Model 3. Combined, the two models received nearly 1,000 complaints stemming from the tail lights not working, the windows pinching passengers, and the seat belts being incorrectly reassembled.
O'Dowd referenced a study that said a self-driving car is involved in a traffic citation-worthy error every eight minutes. It referred to Tesla's fully self-driving cars as"software at its most dangerous." He ultimately lost the race in the primary election, with only about 1% of the vote.Musk hasn't slowed down his self-driving software, instead announcing in November that the 11th version of the Full Self-Driving software was completed.
Tesla is clear in its emergency response guide that a fire could require anywhere between 3,000 to 8,000 gallons of water to extinguish. In reality, it is more like 20,000 gallons, according to Wilbourn's conversations with other fire representatives who have extinguished Tesla-involved fires. Some Tesla owners went viral on social media by going public with issues they had with their cars. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor Glenn Howerton complained about his faulty Tesla in a rant on his podcast, sharing a story about having to leave his car in a Los Angeles parking garage overnight because the car's keyless entry system and key fob were malfunctioning.
