Elon Musk has posted a new blog entry at The Mission of Tesla | Blog | Tesla Motors. Market will probably take an initial hit as investors figure out if the added warrantee will affect bottom line. Love that he requested a full NHTSA investigation, I hope the NHTSA does so.
Elon musk (from the linked article): I think he missed another safety issue here. If the Model S is wrongly perceived as being less safe, people will be driving in cars which are actually less safe. So it is best if the NHTSA has as accurate a picture of the safety of all cars as possible, and that they make that knowledge public.
OK so now we have a response from Telsa. Previous thread I said let's wait and hear Tesla's response. This is a good solid response, with 3 steps 1. Warranty clarification to cover fire 2. Requesting NHTSA safety review 3. Modification of height of car via air suspension (software update)
