Because they disagree with his political reviews, this is the typical way of governments declaring war on their opponents, as you can see, those accidents are not new, they go back to 2018, but in 2018 Musk's political views weren't like today, or at least he wasn't vocal like he is today.
Musk has political views? That's news to me. He didn't say a single word during the Shanghai lock-down when Tesla had to stop production.

How often does NHTSA investigate 11 crashes from the other auto manufacturers? I really donā€™t know the answer but itā€™s unlikely that this attention is just from NHTSA doing itā€™s jobā€. Iā€™m pretty sure there are 11 accidents caused by a feature on F150ā€™s or Silveradoā€™s but no major announcement from NHTSA into investigating them.
You're right. EVERY premium brand has some kind of autonomous, hands off, let the car do the driving type of system. And I'm sure all of them have caused some kind of crash, but Tesla is the only one being investigated? It's because Elon started commenting about politics and now the government is coming after him.

Ugh. Seriously? Youā€™ve never dealt with regulatory agencies or the non-political parts of the government, have you? šŸ™„

It has nothing to do with volume?
There are lots of the Tesla clones out now. If robot cars are safer then letā€™s get them checked out and get it confirmed. If not then what can be done to improve!
nothing political in that.

You donā€™t remember during the Obama years the IRS was auditing all of the administrationā€™s political enemies? All of these agencies are corrupt and rotten to the core

If you honestly believe that to be proof, you're spending a lil' too much time on the fringes of the Internet, chief.

Iā€™m not sure what to do with a response like this. Are you telling me it didnā€™t happen? What is your point exactly?

Yes, he's telling you it didn't happen. Fox News is purposefully putting out false news. They are NOT a news organization, they are now a propaganda-generator...a talk-show operation. I'm a former Fox News cameraman.

I also used to work in the conservative side of ā€œnewsā€ and yes to all of this. Was quite the eye opener.

Or, stay with me here, maybe NHTSA is doing its job? Not everything is "House of Cards" level of political theater.
Doing their job 4 years later ....

You have no concern at all over the fact people have died because of failures in this system?
Is that a question or a statement?
This issue is not new, it's old, matter of fact it's very old, it shouldn't take them 4 years to investigate " people's deaths due to faulty systems "
