Tesla Door Handles Are Focus of US Safety Probe After Bloomberg Investigation

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an investigation into Tesla's door handles after a Bloomberg News investigation uncovered safety concerns. The investigation will determine if the door handles are defective, as they fail to open when the car loses power, posing a potential safety risk to occupants. The Bloomberg investigation revealed several incidents where people were injured or died after being unable to open the doors due to the power loss, particularly after crashes. The NHTSA's probe aims to address these safety concerns and determine if any action is necessary to address the issue. The investigation highlights the importance of ensuring that vehicle safety features, such as door handles, function correctly even in the event of a power failure or accident. The outcome of the NHTSA's investigation will be closely watched by Tesla and its customers, as it could have significant implications for the company's vehicle safety standards.
