It's probably allowed in the T&C of owning a tesla, but is anyone else bothered by Musk calling out details of log files that "normals" probably aren't aware of?
It's quite common in investigations of plane crashes that the aircraft manufacturer is involved in the investigation and makes public statements (usually to the effect of "we've ruled out any problems with our plane... must be those darn pilots again"). The situation with cars is a bit different in that it's (usually) private individuals rather than professionals, but I'd say that the track records of car safety vs. aircraft safety definitely point towards following the model used for air crash investigations.
