    That sounds a lot more like a rumor to me… it would be extremely suspicious and would leave them open to GIGANTIC liability issues.

      In the report, the NHTSA spotlights 16 separate crashes, each involving a Tesla vehicle plowing into stopped first responders and highway maintenance vehicles.
