Tesla Faces Fraud Investigation From DOJ, SEC Over ‘Full Self-Driving’ Claims

While Musk's projections have fallen flat for almost as long, Tesla's doublespeak has still led to sometimes fatal overconfidence in its driving tech. Now, the federal government is finally calling Tesla's bluff, as multiple regulators are reportedly looking into whether Tesla's cars are really as self-driving as Tesla claims them to be.
