What happened

Tesla, Inc. engages in the design, development, manufacture, and sale of fully electric vehicles and energy generation and storage systems. It also provides vehicle service centers, Supercharger stations, and self-driving capability. The company operates through the following segments: Automotive and Energy Generation and Storage.

So what

Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) were trading lower on Monday after a U.S. government agency announced an investigation into the company's Autopilot hands-free driving system.

Now what

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that it has opened a formal safety probe into Tesla's driver-assist systems after a series of crashes involving emergency vehicles. (The investigation was opened on Friday, but it was first reported on Monday morning.)

The Motley Fool

While NHTSA's investigation is focused on Tesla, it's also a signal to the industry at large that its regulators are now looking carefully at the so-called "self-driving" space. Auto investors should note that this could have consequences for other companies developing advanced driver-assist or autonomous-vehicle systems.

So what

Shares of Tesla ( TSLA -2.21% ) tumbled on Thursday, declining more than 4% as of 12:40 p.m. ET. The stock is likely down because of knee-jerk selling in many growth stocks on Thursday, following the Federal Reserve's commentary yesterday about its expectations to raise interest rates next year.

NASDAQ: TSLA

Many growth stocks were trading lower on Thursday. This is partly evidenced by the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite 's near-2% decline as of this writing. The index has more growth stocks in it than the S&P 500, which was down a lesser 0.5% as of this writing.

Now what

While Tesla stock has been battered and bruised in recent trading days, the stock is still up a market-beating 32% year to date. And that's on top of a nearly 700% gain in 2020. Shares, therefore, may simply be taking a breather after an epic run-up over the last two years.

Premium Investing Services

Looking ahead, investors will be looking for Tesla to report strong vehicle deliveries for its fourth quarter. The company typically reports fourth-quarter deliveries within the first three calendar days of each year. So, investors can expect an update on Tesla's quarterly deliveries by Jan. 3, 2022.
