Top-selling Tesla misses safety mark in Australia

A new version of one of Australia's best-selling electric cars could be recalled after the country's vehicle safety agency refused to issue a rating for the vehicle. 

The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) said Tesla's updated Model 3 did not qualify for a five-star rating like its predecessor, and would remain "unrated" based on information the American auto brand had shared about the car. 

The announcement could mean the new Model 3, which began arriving in Australia in December, will be recalled and shipments stopped.
