US opens Tesla probe focused on tech that remotely returns car to driver

US regulators have opening an investigation into 2.6 million Tesla after reports of crashes involving the use of company technology that allows drivers to remotely command their vehicle to return to them, or move to another location, using a phone app. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also said Tuesday that Tesla has failed to report any of the accidents. Tesla is under order to report crashes on publicly accessible roads involving vehicles being operated through its autonomous driving technology.

That investigation covers 2.4 million Teslas from the 2016 through 2024 model years. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Tesla records 1.1% sales drop for 2024, first annual decline in 9 years

Tesla's global sales rose 2.3 per cent in the fourth quarter after a sluggish start to the year that contributed the electric car company's first year-over-year sales decline since at least 2015. The annual decline for the Austin, Texas, company came despite offers such as 0 per cent financing, free charging and low-priced leases. Tesla delivered 495,570 vehicles from October through December, boosting deliveries to 1.79 million for the full year. But that was 1.1 per cent below 2023 sales of 1.81 million as overall demand for electric vehicles in the US and elsewhere slowed. The fourth-quarter boost came with a cost. Analysts polled by FactSet expected Tesla's average sales price to fall to just over USD 41,000 in the quarter, the lowest in at least four years. That doesn't bode well for Tesla's fourth-quarter earnings, which the company said it would announce on January 29. In 2022, Tesla predicted that its sales would grow 50 per cent most years, but the prediction ran into an
