The NHTSA officially rejected a petition that had been pushing for a recall of 2.26 million Tesla vehicles over concerns about one-pedal driving. The original complaint, filed back in 2023, argued that Tesla’s regenerative braking system confused drivers and led to unintended acceleration. NHTSA found no evidence of a defect or safety risk, citing very few relevant incidents and data showing vehicles responded as intended. One-pedal driving, regulators pointed out, is a standard feature of electric vehicles broadly, not a Tesla-specific problem. A clean win on paper, except it came on the same week that Tesla’s real regulatory headache got significantly worse.
