All of these issues have been mentioned many times in the Tesla community. Additionally, all may violate traffic laws, according to NHTSA.
However, the agency also said that the situations leading to this error are not typical and rare.
NHTSA has asked Tesla to recall the vehicle. Although Tesla disagreed with the authorities' analysis, it also opened a vehicle recall. As of February 14, the company has recorded 18 cases of warranty claims due to the above issues.
In that context, on February 18, there was a serious accident on a highway in California (USA), killing the driver named Walnut Creek and seriously injuring another person in the car.

Specifically, at about 4 a.m., the Tesla car crashed into a fire truck that was standing still on the I-680 federal highway to cover another accident.
The four employees who were in the fire truck when it was hit suffered only minor injuries. Rescuers had to cut off the car to get the person traveling in the Tesla out and take him to the emergency room.
Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the accident, nor is it clear whether the driver was drunk or whether the Tesla Model S was using any automatic driving assistance mode such as Autopilot or FSD.
