Tesla airbags didn't inflate when a family's Model 3 crashed into a guardrail, and the company isn't cooperating with the investigation, victims' lawyer says

A Tesla Model 3's airbags didn't inflate in a devastating highway accident earlier this year, the victim's attorney said. The family's lawyer said he sent a routine"preservation letter" to the company but hasn't heard back in the month since. "Tesla has the ability to monitor their vehicles out on the roadway. Who owns that data? Is it our client? Is it Tesla?" the attorney said. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The front crash beam looks intact, why would the airbags deploy?

The report about Safety marketing from gouvernement.

Bullshit insider 😂😂😂😂

Literally 12 million cars are equipped with faulty airbags and you're writing articles about 1. This is obvious stock manipulation. BI is corrupted by shortsellers, Oil and auto. Shame on you, immoral assholes.

All the $TSLA fanboy accounts can hop on to Google and search 'airbags failed to deploy' and see that their beloved isn't the only one. However, this also indicates that their beloved is as at risk as any other car manufacturer, i.e. you're not special. Stop pretending to be.

The tweet conveniently leaves out the following: 'A Tesla representative said the company did, in fact, respond and was waiting for more information from the victim's lawyer.' FUD

Tesla is a shameful excuse of a company.

BI and Lopez will keep publishing scary and exaggerated headlines until Tesla bribes them with Ad dollars. Scumbags.

Weird

They are doing everything to fail tesla.. how many 'regular' car airbags didn't open and didn't make the news... seriously business insider what's your obsession with Tesla and posts about waking up 4am is a good thing !!!

In Tesla’s defense, who’s really going to do anything about it?

Get in line.
