I-NHTSA ithe ayikhethi iinqwelo ezifumana amanqaku afanayo.Umanyano lweHannes Breustedt / wefoto ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty UTesla ubanga ukuba imodeli 3 efikelelekayo yeyona moto ikhuselekileyo eyakha yakhiwa. Kwinkampani iposti yebhlog yomhla we-7 ka-Okthobha u-2018, u-Tesla uthe hayi kuphela ukuba i-Model 3 iphumelele ukulinganiswa okugqibeleleyo kweenkwenkwezi ezintlanu kudidi ngalunye nakwinqanaba le-US National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), kodwa iimvavanyo ze-NHTSA zikwabonisa ukuba inamathuba asezantsi okwenzakala kuzo zonke iimoto iarhente yezokhuseleko eke yavavanya.
Nangona kunjalo, uxwebhu olutsha olungatywinwanga ngolwe-Lwesibini lubonisa ukuba i-NHTSA ayikaze ivume ncam malunga nendlela uTesla ebelichaza ngayo iarhente ngokubhekisele kumabango okhuseleko eModeli 3.
Olu xwebhu lufunyenwe ngesicelo soMthetho weNkululeko yoLwazi liqela elingajonganga nzuzo ngokwasemthethweni Ithafa Utyhile ukuba i-NHTSA ithumele i-Tesla ileta yokuyeka kunye nokuyeka kunyaka ophelileyo eyalela uTesla ukuba ayeke ukuthengisa i-Model 3 njengeyona moto ikhuselekileyo evavanywe yi-arhente.
I-NHTSA yathi amabango kaTesla aphule izikhokelo zayo zentengiso malunga nokusetyenziswa kweziphumo zovavanyo. Ngokukodwa, umlawuli walumkisa ukuba ukusebenzisa ulwimi olufana nolukhuselekileyo nolugqibeleleyo ukuchaza inqanaba elithile okanye amanqaku apheleleyo ayalahlekisa, kuba zininzi iimoto ezilinganiswe ziinkwenkwezi ezintlanu kodwa iarhente ayibeki zithuthi phantsi komlinganiso ofanayo.
Ngokwentengiselwano nge-imeyile phakathi komcebisi oyintloko we-NHTSA uJonathan Morrison kunye nosekela-gqwetha jikelele ka-Tesla u-Al Prescott otyhilwe kuxwebhu, uTesla akavumelani ne-NHTSA kwaye wala ukutshintsha ulwimi kwiintengiso ze-Model 3.
UTesla ubonelele abathengi ngolwazi oluchanekileyo nolunenjongo yokuthelekisa ukhuseleko olunxulumene nezithuthi ezinamanqaku eenkwenkwezi ezi-5, uPrescott wabhala nge-imeyile yomhla we-31 ka-Okthobha u-2018.
Eli ayisosihlandlo sokuqala ukuba uTesla azityeshele izikhokelo ngendlela enokuthi ikhokelele ekudidekeni kwabathengi kwaye inike uTesla ithuba lokuthengisa ngokungalunganga, uMorrison wabhala kwi-imeyile ebhalelwe Umphathi weTesla u-Elon Musk kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo.
I-NHTSA ithathe ingxaki kwintengiso kaTesla yezinye iimoto ngaphambili. Ngo-2013, emva kokuba uTesla ebanga ukuba i-Model S sedan yakhe yafumana inqaku lokhuseleko lwezithuthi elilingana neenkwenkwezi ezi-5.4, i-NHTSA yakhupha ingxelo, ingakhange ithiye igama uTesla, isithi ayilinganisi izithuthi ezingaphaya kweenkwenkwezi ezintlanu. Ukuphendula, u-Tesla ukhankanye ukuba i-NHTSA inike amanqaku okhuseleko kwimoto nganye ngokuthatha umndilili obekiweyo we-Relative Risk Scores (RRS) ngaphambili, ecaleni kunye nokuqengqeleka kwengozi, nangona eli nani belingasetyenziswanga kuVavanyo lweMoto eNtsha. Inkqubo.
Uxwebhu olungatywinwanga lukwabandakanya ii-subpoena odolo ezithunyelwe yi-NHTSA eTesla emva kweziganeko ezininzi zamva nje, kubandakanya nokubulawa kwabantu ngo-Matshi walo nyaka kubandakanya imoto eyi-Model 3 esebenza kwi-Autopilot.
I-NHTSA izinikele kulawulo lokhuselo olungqongqo nolufanelekileyo lweshishini kwaye ikhuthaza nayiphi na imiba enokubakho yokhuseleko ukuba ichazwe kwi-NHTSA, utshilo umlawuli kwingxelo.
