Of course they did ahead of losing the records…. HE’s paid to play!

Only 12 years too late and a $trillion short.

Incase they need another distraction from the Epstein files and fully releasing them.

>The original request was sent to Tesla on December 3 with a deadline of January 19—next Monday— with penalties of up to $27,874 per day **per car?** (to a maximum of $139.4 million) for not complying.

Yup how much does Kash Patel pocket with that extension

This really isn’t much of anything. I did this exact thing against Honda, and my experience with Honda is what pushed me into buying a Tesla in the first place. I filed a formal NHTSA complaint against Honda, along with about 200 others (more than 3x the complaints in this Tesla example, regarding my Honda Pilot engine that failed due to their manufacturing defect, and needed replacement at 66k miles, which I had to pay for. NHTSA granted Honda (2) 5-week extensions, and then the investigation was eventually closed by the NHTSA saying Honda wasn’t at fault.

Oh, so that's why Elmo has started donating tens of millions to random Republican primaries. Makes sense.

Feds: continuing to kick can down the road.

Elon is the government. Nothing to see, here.

At least this distraction is doing some good

To be fair it was a Honda, putting a lawnmower engine in a car is usually a path to ruin. Same reason I don't by Yamaha products, I don't want the same company making my piano as my four wheeler.

Only long enough to get people to forget about it. Bigger problems are ignored even when they are bigger risks. Asbestos is still legal in spite of more than a hundred years of knowing it kills, same with coal and black lung. Throw in lead and cigarette into the same mix for the same reasons. If you're going you use government as a metric for doing the right thing, your going to have a bad time.
