The investigation included Tesla’s entire range, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. No further investigation was needed after Tesla voluntarily disabled Passenger Play on the same day the NHTSA launched its official investigation.
According to the report, which was first discovered by Autoblog, Tesla reported a month later that 97% of all its vehicles had received the update that stopped the driver and passenger from playing games while the car is in motion. The NHTSA hasn’t closed the door entirely, however. “The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that no safety-related defect exists,” the report states.
We’re big fans of Tesla’s gaming system and hope its plans to include Steam integration come true. But gaming should only be accessible if the car is stationary. Playing Beach Buggy Racing helps kill time when the car is charging and stops you from spending money on unnecessary garbage at stores near the Supercharger Station.
