Tesla Model 3

The problem

The lateral force on the shoulder can exceed the permitted limit (3 kN) during a pole collision. As a result, the vehicle may provide insufficient protection in the event of a side impact which increases the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
