Diarmuid O’Connell, the company’s vice president for business development, told the Automotive Press Association that: “Our North Star for these things is what’s right for the customer.
An e-mail from Tesla to its Model S customers stated that the firm;“recently found a Model S in Europe with a front seat belt that was not properly connected to the outboard lap pretensioner,
