Moody's said the ratings "reflect the significant shortfall in the production rate of the company's Model 3 electric vehicle." This is the second NTSB field investigation into a Tesla crash since January. The California Highway Patrol said the electric-powered Tesla Model X crashed into a freeway divider on Friday and then was hit by a Mazda before colliding with an Audi. The Tesla blog post said Tesla battery packs are designed to ensure that a battery spreads slowly in the rare circumstance it catches fire. The NTSB faulted Tesla in a prior fatal Autopilot crash.
