![]() The NTSB and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are also looking into the performance of the company’s Autopilot system in the March crash of a Tesla Model X on a California highway. The agency has said it does not expect the semi-autonomous system to be a focus of that investigation. Two 18-year-olds were trapped in the vehicle and died in the flames. Last week, the NTSB opened a probe into an incident in which a Model S caught fire after crashing into a wall in Florida. Traveling at speeds of up to 268 mph (431 km/h), the Maglev completes the 18.95 mile (30.5 km/h) journey in just 8 minutes. Over the past two months, federal officials have opened investigations into at least two other crashes involving Tesla vehicles. The National Transportation Safety Board has not opened an investigation into the crash, spokesman Keith Holloway said, though it could decide to do so. “An impact at that speed usually results in severe injury or death.” “What’s actually amazing about this accident is that a Model S hit a fire truck at 60 mph and the driver only broke an ankle,” Musk tweeted.
