Top US auto regulator opens special probe after Tesla slams into Texas home

The top US auto regulator opened an investigation Monday after a Tesla using an automated driving feature slammed into a Texas home at high speed and killed a 76-year-old woman standing inside. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it's opening a special investigation into the Tesla Model 3 crash on Friday near Houston, a significant probe because the car was using technology that Elon Musk considers key to the company's future. The Tesla CEO is rolling out robotaxis using automated software in several US cities this year and plans to invite Tesla owners to put their cars into the fleet using the same system across the country. The driver told the Harris County Sheriff's Office that he was using the technology, according to a police report on the crash, but it's not clear what role, if any, it played in the incident. The police report also noted that the driver was not drunk and is cooperating. It identified the woman killed as Martha Avila. Video obtained by KHO

Tesla recalls Cybertrucks over wheels, over 200k cars for camera failure

Tesla is recalling 173 Cybertrucks because cracking in the rotor could cause the wheel stud to separate from the wheel hub, increasing the risk of a crash and injury. The recall includes model year 2024-2026 Cybertrucks with 18-inch steel wheels. In its report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that rough roads and cornering may strain the stud hole in the wheel rotor causing cracks to form and with continued driving the wheel stud could eventually separate from the wheel hub. Wheel stud separation may affect vehicle controllability, increasing the risk of a collision. On affected vehicles, Tesla will replace the front and rear brake rotors, hubs, and lug nuts with more durable ones at no cost to vehicle owners. The manufacturer's recall number is SB-26-33-003. Owners may contact Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752. Tesla is also recalling more than 200,000 Model Y, Model S Model X and Model 3 electric vehicles because of a software issue that renders t

Tesla sales rise after year of Musk boycotts but still miss expectations

Sales of Tesla vehicles rose in the past three months after a brutal year of boycotts over Elon Musk's politics but still fell short of expectations. The company reported Thursday that sales rose 6 per cent to 358,023 in the three months through March, the first time in three years it posted a first-quarter increase from the year-earlier period. The increase follows a year of plunging sales due to an aging lineup and boycotts over Musk's right-wing political stands. Still, the results disappointed investors, who sold heavily on Thursday. One reason was that sales were 6 per cent lower than the 381,000 that financial analysts had expected, according to a survey by researcher FactSet. And they were sharply off from the sales for the three months ended in December. Tesla has had to contend with lower demand due to the September expiration of a USD 7,500 tax credit for EV buyers, a blow to sales across the industry. The company is hoping cheaper versions of Tesla models X and 3 introd
