Hans von Ohain says Tesla accident not caused by Autopilot
Tesla has argued that the Model 3 was not defective at all and that Autopilot did not cause von Ohain's death. July 6, 2024 — Hans Von Ohain’s Tesla crash lawsuit should be dismissed because Tesla did not cause the crash or the 33-year-old Tesla employee’s death, it is claimed. Hans Von Ohain Tesla’s wrongful death lawsuit alleges the Colorado man died due to a defect in his 2021 Tesla Model 3’s Autopilot system. The May 16, 2022 Tesla crash also involved von Ohain's friend, Erik Rossiter, who was in the front passenger seat of the Model 3 and told investigators that Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash. Mr Rossiter was able to flee the vehicle. Von Ohain's wife, Nora Bass, said her husband was killed when the Autopilot malfunctioned and the Tesla ran off the road, hit trees and caught fire. "The deceased, Hans von Ohain, struggled to regain control of the vehicle but to his…
Tesla hood latch recall affects 1.8 million vehicles
Tesla is recalling 2021 to 2024 Model 3, Model S, Model X, and 2020 to 2024 Model Y vehicles. July 30, 2024 — Tesla’s hood recall affects more than 1.8 million vehicles because the hood latch component may not detect whether the hood is unlocked after it is opened. The recalled products include Model 3, Model S, Model X from 2021 to 2024 and Model Y vehicles from 2020 to 2024. When the driver shifts into drive, they are not warned that the hood is open. Tesla began receiving hood complaints from Model 3 and Model Y owners in China starting in March. Engineers discovered that the door latch switches were deforming, but somehow the problem seemed to be worse in China than in the United States and Europe. In the U.S., only three warranty claims or field reports have been reported, but there have been no hood-related accidents or injuries. Tesla's hood recall letters will be mailed on September…
