Media driven, funny they don't mention how both drivers ran over giant debris.

Not to mention there may be some influence from dealer lobbyists considering how public the dealers vs. Tesla spat became once Musk wanted to sell cars directly to consumers.

Edit- Looks like Elon asked for the investigation. Very smart if he knows that it's an isolated occurrance.

the director of the NHTSA refuted that comment from elon musk and said there was no such request from musk until after the NHTSA had already filed the paperwork to start the investigation.

Regardless, it is still a good PR move. Most people will just hear that Elon Musk invited an investigation and think he stands behind his product and never be any wiser to the fact that an investigation had already been underway.

You think? There is also big oil involved too. I have 9000 miles in my two EV cars combined, not a single problem and it doesn't need any major service other than computer checkups and tire rotation planned within the next three years.

I am praying it will drop below $125, then I can buy 1000 shares and watch it grow back up to $200 once the Model X comes out. I got one on deposit now.

There's that as well. I have a hard time believing any government scrutiny is above board.

I did think the stock was overbought based on revenue, so personally I'd just hold on to see what comes of the inquiry.
