AutoExec Summary
The Tesla Model 3 electric car is under investigation for a possible breach of motor-vehicle rules in Australia. The investigation is focused on the removal of a child-seat anchor point needed for approval for use on the road. The updated Tesla Model 3 does not have an accessible top-tether anchor point for securing a child seat in the centre rear seating position, which is a requirement for five-seat passenger cars with three seatbelts for adult occupants in the back seats. If found in breach of Australian motor-vehicle regulations, Tesla may need to recall the examples that have been delivered to customers. Other car brands mentioned in the article include BYD and Honda.
