<div id="readability-page-1">Tesla is being probed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for not reporting accidents in a timely manner, the agency said on Thursday. It is already well on its way to being resolved, the agency said. The agency’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) identified numerous instances in which Tesla reported crashes that “occurred several months or more before the dates of the reports.” The Standing General Order in place by the agency requires crash reports to be submitted within five days of Tesla receiving the notice of an accident. The investigation states Tesla submitted crashes in one of two ways: “Many of the reports were submitted as part of a single batch, while others were submitted on a rolling basis.” The problem the NHTSA had with Tesla’s reporting is already on its way to being resolved, as the agency and the company have been in communication. Tesla has already been in contact with the agency’s ODI and stated that the timing of the reports was an issue with its data collection. The issue has been resolved, Tesla told them. The NHTSA said the initiation of the probe against Tesla is a “standard process for reviewing compliance with legal requirements, to evaluate the cause of potential delays in reporting, the scope of any such delays, and the mitigations that Tesla has developed to address them.” It is the latest NHTSA probe into Tesla, as it has also been investigating the company for accidents during Full Self-Driving operation in reduced visibility conditions. The agency also sought information on the rollout of Robotaxi a few months ago, and how Tesla planned to handle low-visibility conditions in its driverless ride-hailing service. The NHTSA was interested in knowing how Tesla planned to assess the ability of FSD’s engineering controls, whether any other similar FSD crashes had occurred in low visibility, and if modifications to FSD software would impact its performance in these conditions.

Tesla is under investigation by the NHTSA for delayed accident reporting. The agency has noted that Tesla's reporting issues are being resolved through communication between the two parties. The NHTSA's probe is a standard compliance review, assessing the reasons for reporting delays and Tesla's mitigation strategies. This investigation follows previous inquiries into Tesla's Full Self-Driving operations and the rollout of its Robotaxi service.

- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating Tesla for delays in reporting accidents, with the issue reportedly on the path to resolution.  
- The NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation found that Tesla submitted crash reports months after the incidents, violating the requirement to report within five days.  
- Tesla has communicated with the NHTSA, attributing the delays to data collection issues, while the agency continues to review compliance and investigate other safety concerns related to Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology.
