Tesla FSD gets worse at driving, NHTSA opens new investigation
Last week was a good one for Tesla, as it beat analysts' estimates for the number of cars it could sell in the third quarter of the year. This week is probably a less good week for Tesla, since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation has opened yet another preliminary probe into the automaker-the third this year alone.
2025 hadn't been going long before NHTSA announced an investigation following multiple crashes involving Tesla's remote parking features. And last month, the agency started a second, concerning multiple deaths after the company's signature retractable door handles became inoperative after a crash.
Now it's the controversially named "Full Self-Driving" feature in the crosshairs, after dozens of reports of Teslas breaking traffic laws while using this partially automated driving assist.
