On January 27, 2023, Reuters published an article reporting that, as "part of an ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) probe of the company's statements about its Autopilot driver-assistance system," "SEC officials are considering whether [Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon] Musk may have inappropriately made forward-looking statements" about the Autopilot system. On this news, Tesla's stock price fell $11.24 per share, or 6.32%, to close at $166.66 per share on January 30, 2023.
Then, on February 16, 2023, the National Highway Safety Administration ordered a recall of nearly 363,000 Tesla vehicles equipped with the Company's "Full Self-Driving Beta" software, stating that the software may allow the equipped vehicles to act "in an unlawful or unpredictable manner," increasing the risk of a crash. On this news, Tesla's stock price fell $12.20 per share, or 5.69%, to close at $202.04 per share on February 16, 2023.
On February 19, 2023, media outlets reported the death of a Tesla driver following a collision with a fire truck on an interstate highway, noting that U.S. regulators continued to investigate Autopilot-equipped Tesla vehicles over a string of crashes with parked emergency vehicles. On this news, Tesla's stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on February 21, 2023, the next trading day.
