NTSB Accident Investigators Flustered Over Lack Of A Black Box In Tesla Vehicle

No- sorry - there is NO Black Box requirement for car or trucks. Until recently - there were not enough electronic sensors in a car for that information to be available to begin with.

Tesla has maintained its computer systems as proprietary - and has not given any but the own owned service departments the ability to access that data - and reset a computer in Limp mode. THe current laws govern ICE engine emissions data - and even Computers that control the chassis and brakes do not have to have available data for local mechanics. So - if your TESLA says the brakes should be checked - you can replace them yourself - but you must take the car back to a TESLA agency to reset the computer afterwards. And TEsla has argued that it has the right to REFUSE to reset the computer if the repairs are not done in accordance with its requirements (Ie aftermarket parts for instance) - TEsla has actually refused to reset a computer after Crash repairs were done without replacing whole panels.

"The data stored on the Tesla is in a proprietary format that can only be accessed by the company. "
"Similarly, the information the vehicles beam to Tesla computers on a regular basis can't be obtained without the company's cooperation."

Translation: Tesla can alter the information to suit them before they get around to releasing it.

Dishonest company.
