Tesla(US:TSLA) Zhong Guo Jing Ying Bao·2025-10-10 07:33Group 1: Investigation on Tesla's Full Self-Driving System - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating 2.88 million Tesla vehicles equipped with the "Full Self-Driving" system due to over 50 reports of traffic safety violations and accidents [2] - The investigation includes 58 reports, with 14 accidents resulting in 23 injuries, highlighting incidents where Tesla vehicles ran red lights and collided with other vehicles [2][3] - Complaints from owners indicate that the "Full Self-Driving" system failed to accurately recognize traffic signals or did not stop completely at red lights, with Tesla reportedly not acknowledging these issues [2][3] Group 2: Electronic Door Handle Issues - NHTSA is also investigating approximately 174,000 Tesla vehicles, specifically the 2021 Model Y, for potential issues with electronic door handles that may fail to operate, leading to safety concerns [3][5] - Initial findings suggest that low battery voltage could be a reason for the malfunction, with reports of owners being locked out of their vehicles due to this issue [5][7] - The investigation will assess the reliability of the power supply for the door locks, as the manual override for the electronic locks may not be easily accessible to trapped individuals [5][7] Group 3: New Model Launch and Market Strategy - On October 7, Tesla announced the launch of two lower-priced models, the "Standard Version Model Y" and "Standard Version Model 3," priced at $39,990 and $36,990 respectively, to counteract declining sales and market share [7][8] - Despite a price reduction of about $5,000 compared to previous versions, the new models are still above the market expectation of $30,000, and the expiration of the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles may impact sales [8] - Analysts express skepticism regarding whether the new models, which have seen some configuration and material quality reductions, will effectively boost Tesla's sales [8]
