Tesla recalls 300,000 vehicles in US over taillight software glitch

Tesla is recalling more than 300,000 vehicles in the US because a software glitch can make taillights go off intermittently, increasing the risk of a collision. Tesla said in documents posted Saturday by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the glitch may affect one or both taillights on certain Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. Brake lamps, backup lamps and turn signal lamps are not affected by the software problem, the company said. The automaker said it is releasing an online software update that will fix the problem. The recall covers certain 2020 to 2023 Model Y SUVs and 2023 Model 3 sedans. That amounts to potentially 321,628 vehicles. Tesla became aware of the problem last month after receiving complaints, primarily from customers outside the US, that their vehicle taillamps were not illuminating. The company completed an investigation into the problem earlier this month. Owners will be notified by letter starting January 14. The company says in documents

CEO Elon Musk testifies in lawsuit over Tesla compensation package

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the witness stand on Wednesday to defend himself in a shareholder lawsuit challenging a compensation package he was awarded by the company's board of directors that is potentially worth more than USD 55 billion. Musk denied that he dictated terms of the compensation package or attended any meetings at which the plan was discussed by the board, its compensation committee, or a working group that helped develop it. I was entirely focused on the execution of the company, he said. Plaintiff's attorney Greg Varallo spent much of his early cross-examination trying to draw Musk into admitting that he controls Tesla to such an extent that he can sway the board to do his bidding. Among other things, Varallo questioned Musk about his title of Technoking, a role that Musk has previously noted comes with panache and great dance moves. I think comedy is legal, Musk told Varallo, who had questioned whether Musk was stone-cold sober when he came up with the title. Varall
