New Analysis Challenges Bold Tesla Claims | Safety Research & Strategies, Inc.
"Remarkably, NHTSA’s announcement was not accompanied by any of the data underlying this astonishing claim. NHTSA failed even to cite the numerators and denominators of the crash rates to back up its analysis."
"To replicate and better understand NHTSA’s study, we filed a Freedom of Information Act request on February 24, 2017 for “all of the mileage and airbag deployment data supplied by Tesla analyzed by ODI to calculate the crash rates shown in Figure 11.. In addition, we request[ed] all records related to any statistical summaries, formulas, models, adjustments, sample weights, and/or any other data or methods relied upon to calculate the crash rates shown in Figure 11.”
NHTSA responded by letter dated March 31, 2017, stating that “[t]he agency expects to provide a response by April 14, 2017.”10 In fact, we never heard from the Agency again until we sued the Department of Transportation on June 28, 2017 to obtain the requested data."
