The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration addressed a cease-and-desist letter directly to Musk in October 2018, questioning several claims.

Elon Musk and Tesla repeatedly claimed that the Model 3 was the safest car ever tested by US regulators — which earned Musk a cease-and-desist letter in October 2018. Transparency group PlainSite published a letter from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration taking issue with the claim that"there is no safer car in the world than a Tesla." It did not dispute that the Model 3 deserved its 5-star rating after NHTSA tests.
