Feds open their 14th Tesla safety investigation, this time for FSD


Four crashes and one death could lead to a costly recall or FSD being banned.

This time, it's the automaker's highly controversial "full self-driving" feature that's in the crosshairs—NHTSA says it now has four reports of Teslas using FSD and then crashing after the camera-only system encountered fog, sun glare, or airborne dust. If NHTSA determines that the company's camera-only strategy isn't capable of delivering on the promises repeatedly made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, it can force the automaker to issue a recall. While the company's valuation has long since entered meme stock status, decoupled from the fundamentals of the underlying business of making and selling EVs, after last week's "emperor's new clothes" robotaxi reveal there are signs that the market is finally starting to pay at least a little attention.
