One victim was rendered comatose as a result of the impact, causing her serious brain damage, while her son in the back seat suffered severe injuries.

A Tesla Model 3's airbags didn't inflate in a devastating highway accident earlier this year, the victim's attorney said. The family's lawyer said he sent a routine"preservation letter" to the company but hasn't heard back in the month since. "Tesla has the ability to monitor their vehicles out on the roadway. Who owns that data? Is it our client? Is it Tesla?" the attorney said. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The front crash beam looks intact, why would the airbags deploy?

The report about Safety marketing from gouvernement.

Bullshit insider 😂😂😂😂

Our tesla 3 series driver side seat belt has broken 3 times in the 3 months we’ve owned it so I’m NOT SURPRISED that they are reporting this. elonmusk must have cut corners to make this vehicle regrettesla3 btw they never gave us our 5k free miles of charging. wheremymilesat

Literally 12 million cars are equipped with faulty airbags and you're writing articles about 1. This is obvious stock manipulation. BI is corrupted by shortsellers, Oil and auto. Shame on you, immoral assholes.

All the $TSLA fanboy accounts can hop on to Google and search 'airbags failed to deploy' and see that their beloved isn't the only one. However, this also indicates that their beloved is as at risk as any other car manufacturer, i.e. you're not special. Stop pretending to be.

The tweet conveniently leaves out the following: 'A Tesla representative said the company did, in fact, respond and was waiting for more information from the victim's lawyer.' FUD

Tesla is a shameful excuse of a company.

BI and Lopez will keep publishing scary and exaggerated headlines until Tesla bribes them with Ad dollars. Scumbags.

Weird

Tesla why is that?

That’s what happens when you make a vehicle in a tent and use duct tape.

They are doing everything to fail tesla.. how many 'regular' car airbags didn't open and didn't make the news... seriously business insider what's your obsession with Tesla and posts about waking up 4am is a good thing !!!

Upper20sStCap How many incidents is it now?

In Tesla’s defense, who’s really going to do anything about it?

Get in line.

What about all the Toyotas airbags that don't inflate?

Now do this for the rest of the auto industry and stack it against Tesla lol
