元器件交易网讯 3月31日消息，据外媒报道，政府已结束了对特斯拉Model S三起失火事件的调查，国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）认为车辆并无缺陷。

　　三起失火事件都发生在去年。其中两件发生在车辆高速行驶时，锋利的碎片划破汽车下方的电池组导致汽车失火，所幸无人受伤。

　　另一起失火事件发生在墨西哥，驾驶者撞上墙导致汽车失火，驾驶者并未受伤。NHTSA称“碎片事件”是由于高速行驶时主动制导悬架系统位于较低的空气力学位置，车辆本身并没有缺陷。

　　特斯拉提高了高速行驶于直线路段时的车身高度，NHTSA称这可以减少电池罢工及火灾的可能。由于汽车的安全性得到提高且并未发现缺陷，针对Model S失火的调查已经结束。同时特斯拉还会为现有全部Model S安装钛铝合金保护板。（元器件交易网毛毛  译）

　　More good news comes Tesla’s way as theGovernment ends its investigations regarding the Model S fires. Earlier, wereported about the dealership tussle that the electric car company is embroiledin and how New York’s Governor took a softer stand on them. Presently, theNHTSA has closed its inquiries into the fires that broke out in the Model S, inthree separate incidents.

　　All three incidents took place last year;the first two took place when the cars, which were traveling at high speed, ranover sharp debris that punctured the battery pack located below the car. Thisresulted in the car catching fire, however the silver lining was the no one washarmed. Before it was too late, the drivers were able to pull to the side ofthe road and escape unharmed.

　　In the third incident, which took place inMexico, the driver rammed into a wall, resulting in the car catching fire. Heretoo the driver was unharmed, probably because of the strong body of the car. Inany case, the NHTSA’s statement says that the cars involved in the ‘debrisincidents’ were running with the active suspension in its low, aerodynamicposition at highway speeds and no defects were noted with the vehicles.

　　Tesla on its part straightaway raised the rideheight of the cars traveling at highway speeds. The NHTSA says that this shouldreduce the frequency of underbody strikes and the resultant fire risk. Sincethe car’s safety has been improved and no defect uncovered, the investigationis now closed. As an additional feature, Tesla is going to fit every new andexisting Model S with added titanium and aluminum protection plate.
