Edit- Looks like Elon asked for the investigation. Very smart if he knows that it's an isolated occurrance.

the director of the NHTSA refuted that comment from elon musk and said there was no such request from musk until after the NHTSA had already filed the paperwork to start the investigation.

Regardless, it is still a good PR move. Most people will just hear that Elon Musk invited an investigation and think he stands behind his product and never be any wiser to the fact that an investigation had already been underway.
