One of the 2 completed NHTSA investigations into a $TSLA Autopilot crash was the Joshua Brown crash in 2016.

nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.do…
In January 2017 right at the end of the Obama administration, NHTSA issued a report declaring that there were no safety defects with Autopilot and that autopilot resulted in a 40% reduction in the Tesla vehicle crash rate.

The NTSB also issued a report on this crash in September 2017 where it determined the operational design of the Tesla’s vehicle automation permitted the car driver’s overreliance on the automation (ie #predictableabuse) was a contributor to the crash.

After the underlying data underpinning this Analysis was obtained via FOIA request, it was discovered that NHTSA doctored the data in its report to engineer a desired result. In reality, use of Autopilot increased vehicle crash rates by 59%!

Given NHTSA’s history in white washing Tesla autopilot investigations, why should the general public have any faith in NHTSA to conduct a thorough and objective investigation into any of the 12 currently active autopilot investigations?

Fun Facts to consider after today's deposit pump:

In the Q1 2018 $TSLA Quarterly letter, Tesla claimed that it had Model 3 "net reservations" that "continued to exceed 450,000 at the end of Q1."

As of the end of Sep 2019, Tesla has delivered a total of 356,084 Model 3s.
In the Q2 2019, Earnings letter, Tesla wrote "order generation has shifted nearly entirely to non-reservation holders."

This implies that no more than 200,000 (and likely less than 150,000) of the Model 3 order backlog actually ended up purchasing a car.
The Model 3 was "unveiled" and started taking deposits on 3/31/2016.

At the unveiling event, Musk announced Tesla had 135k orders for the Model 3.

On 4/1/2016 Musk tweeted that Tesla had 180k orders for the Model 3 and then later tweeted that Tesla had 198k orders.

As we enter September (the 3rd month of Q3), $TSLA is in need of another "miracle" in order to hit its delivery guidance.
In its Q2 investor letter, Tesla wrote "We are working to increase our deliveries sequentially and annually, with some expected fluctuations from seasonality. This is consistent with our previous guidance of 360,000 to 400,000 vehicle deliveries this year."
Q2 deliveries were 95,356. Guidance therefore implies Q3 deliveries of >95,356. Sell side estimates are currently for deliveries of around 96k in Q3.

YTD Tesla has delivered 158,375 vehicles. To hit the low end of its annual guidance Tesla needs to deliver 201,625 vehicles in H2

1/ On this week’s new episode: The inside story of how Trump’s EPA is rolling back Obama-era emissions standards to replace them with something that “doesn't pass the commonsense laugh test.” revealnews.org/episodes/scutt…
2/ The highlight of EPA engineer Jeff Alson’s career was a trip to the Oval Office in July 2011. They were celebrating Obama’s clean car initiative, which aimed to nearly double fuel efficiency to more than 54 miles a gallon by 2025.
3/ When President Trump announced he would gut Obama’s standards, Alson, who spent most of the last decade working on them, said he felt “like a good chunk of my career was kinda taken away from me.”

Senate Finance Committee (chaired by Grassley) is now investigating meetings between #Obama admin officials Nathan Sheets & Stanley Fischer and Russian agents #MariaButina and Alexander Torshin that were arranged by the Center for the National Interest.

#ButNothingsHappening
Here's a previous thread I did on Nathan Sheets

In April 2018, the #Trump administration/US Treasury sanctioned Alexander Torshin for "worldwide malign activity."

One thing I'd like to say about reporting in 2018 and I speak only for myself here:
If I was a reporter in the same capacity today during the Obama administration, I would have questioned, critiqued and demanded high standards as I do with Trump.
1/6
If Obama would have handled himself on Twitter as Trump does today, I would react and respond and report the same way.
I dont change my reporting based on the political party in power. And when this administration ends and another begins...
2/6
Should it be a Dem or Republican in office in 2020, if anything were to change for me it would be this: I will demand even HIGHER standards of performance from them, ask even more questions of them and expose the hypocrisies and falsehoods with greater fervor. But why?

OBAMA should be more mindful when accusing Trump about the press & leaks:

1. It is common knowledge among journalists that the #Obama administration has prosecuted more leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all former presidents combined. But few admit this truth.
2. The Committee to Protect Journalists released its first comprehensive report on US press freedom.

They discovered that the Obama administration’s policies have undermined the role of the press in three fundamental ways.
3. First, the government’s war on leaks has not only intimidated whistleblowers, it has ensnared journalists.
