"NHTSA has finally sided with Tesla and closed out its investigation, saving the automaker from potentially needing to issue a recall for more than 2 million cars sold all the way back to 2013."
"The original concern leading up to the investigation was centered around 'pedal misapplication,' which is a polite way of saying that drivers could accidentally confuse the gas pedal with the brake function."
"According to NHTSA, there are only a handful of crashes potentially linked to the issue. And in those cases, the vehicle logs show that the cars responded correctly to driver inputs."
NHTSA concluded its investigation into Tesla's one-pedal driving feature, which was previously linked to unintended acceleration concerns. The investigation found that the feature is not unique to Tesla and does not constitute a defect. One-pedal driving, which utilizes regenerative braking, allows EVs to stop without using the brake pedal. The investigation was prompted by concerns over 'pedal misapplication,' but NHTSA determined that only a few crashes were associated with this issue, and the vehicles responded correctly to driver inputs.
