A failure to respond could result in a maximum of $135.8 million in penalties. The company can also ask for an extension.<\/p>\n<p>The NHTSA is investigating possible safety defects in Tesla&#8217;s FSD option, a partially automated driving system. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/10\/18\/tesla-faces-nhtsa-investigation-of-full-self-driving-after-fatal-collision.html\">The latest probe<\/a> followed a series of Tesla collisions that involved the use of FSD within 30 seconds of impact. In one instance, a Tesla driver using FSD fatally struck a pedestrian.<\/p>\n<p>Magno referred to an array of posts shared by Tesla on X, the social network owned by Tesla CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/elon-musk\/\">Elon Musk<\/a>. One post showed a driver using FSD to go to a hospital while enduring a possible heart attack. Another showed a driver who said he used FSD for a 50-minute ride home from a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ByeonChansoo\/status\/1787297026742358513\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sporting event<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the posts, Tesla suggested there are &#8220;advantages to using FSD while inebriated&#8221; or while fatigued, Magno wrote. NHTSA asked Tesla to make its online communications, &#8220;consistent&#8221; with user instructions, and &#8220;appropriate to the level of capability deployed to the public roads.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Musk, who emerged as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/11\/07\/how-elon-musk-stands-to-cash-in-on-trumps-presidential-victory.html\">principal backer <\/a>of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign, aims to cut federal spending and regulations when the new administration begins. He also seeks to create a federal motor vehicle safety standard for autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla shares have climbed 28% in the three trading days since Tuesday&#8217;s election, surpassing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/11\/08\/tesla-hits-1-trillion-market-cap-as-stock-rallies-after-trump-win.html\">market cap of $1 trillion<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla didn&#8217;t immediately respond to a request for comment.
