The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it will not open a formal investigation into Tesla Motors Model S EV.
A Tesla S was destroyed in Kent, Wash., this month by battery fire.
“After reviewing all available data, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not found evidence at this time that would indicate the recent battery fire involving a Tesla Model S was the result of a vehicle safety defect or noncompliance with federal safety standards. The agency continually reviews incoming and prior consumer vehicle complaints, as well as other data to identify potential vehicle defect trends and takes appropriate action as necessary,” the agency said.
