U.S. regulators granted Tesla a five-week extension, pushing the deadline to respond to the NHTSA investigation into its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software to February 23.
- The probe centers on dozens of complaints alleging the FSD software caused vehicles to run red lights or drive erratically.
- The extension delays potential regulatory consequences as Tesla attempts to pivot its narrative toward AI and robotaxis like the Cybercab.
- Shares traded essentially unchanged following the news, closing around $439 in midday trading.
