) received a cease-and-desist letter last year from U.S. regulators for making “misleading statements” over safety ratings of its Model 3 sedans as well as two subpoenas related to crashes involving its cars, according to documents seen by Reuters.
Tesla, founded and run by Silicon Valley billionaire Elon Musk, on Wednesday stood by its safety claims, saying it used NHTSA’s own data to back them up. The documents also showed that the carmaker filed a confidential response in August 2018 to one of the subpoenas from that April. Asked about the documents, a Tesla spokesman on Wednesday pointed to statements made in the company’s Oct. 31, 2018, letter to NHTSA in which it maintained that the Model 3 had the lowest risk of occupant injury of any vehicle in U.S. government tests.
“The guidelines warn against comparison statements like these because such statements mislead consumers about the relative safety of different vehicle models,” NHTSA chief counsel Jonathan Morrison said in the letter. The U.S. Department of Transportation released the documents after legal transparency group PlainSite obtained them under the Freedom of Information Act .
