Tesla Stock Is Sliding Wednesday: What's Going On?
Tesla Stock Is Sliding Wednesday: What's Going On?
Tesla, Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are trading lower Wednesday following reports that U.S. prosecutors are looking into whether Tesla misled investors and customers about its self-driving technology.
特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）股價週三走低，此前有報道稱美國檢察官正在調查特斯拉是否在其自動駕駛技術方面誤導了投資者和客戶。
What Happened: The Justice Department is examining certain statements made by Tesla and CEO Elon Musk about the company's full self-driving capabilities, according to Reuters.
發生了什麼：據路透社報道，司法部正在審查特斯拉和首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克就該公司全部自動駕駛能力發表的某些聲明。
Prosecutors are specifically looking into potential statements suggesting Tesla vehicles can completely drive themselves. Tesla's Full Self-Driving system offers steering assist, braking and lane change assistance, but it's not a fully autonomous system and Tesla has told drivers to remain ready to take over control of the vehicle when using the systems.
檢察官正在特別調查暗示特斯拉汽車完全可以自動駕駛的潛在聲明。特斯拉的全自動駕駛系統提供轉向輔助、制動和換道輔助，但它不是一個完全自動駕駛的系統，特斯拉已要求駕駛員在使用這些系統時做好接管車輛控制的準備。
Two people familiar with the matter reportedly said the investigators will be exploring whether or not Tesla committed wire fraud by deceiving interstate communications and misleading consumers, and whether Tesla committed securities fraud by misleading investors.
據報道，兩位知情人士表示，調查人員將調查特斯拉是否通過欺騙州際通信和誤導消費者來實施電匯欺詐，以及特斯拉是否通過誤導投資者實施了證券欺詐。
Another person familiar with the matter told Reuters that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is also investigating how Tesla presented its self-driving systems to investors.
另一位知情人士告訴路透社，美國證券交易委員會也在調查特斯拉如何向投資者展示其自動駕駛系統。
The news comes after Tesla disclosed in October that the Justice Department had asked the company for information on its Full-Self Driving technology. Although the investigation is ongoing, the probe is not evidence of wrongdoing and could result in no action being taken. The report indicates that one of the sources said prosecutors are "far from deciding how to proceed."
該消息是在特斯拉在10月份透露司法部已要求該公司提供有關其全自動駕駛技術的信息之後發佈的。儘管調查仍在進行中，但調查不是不當行爲的證據，可能導致不採取任何行動。該報告指出，其中一位消息人士稱，檢察官 “遠未決定如何進行”。
Tesla shares had been under pressure leading up to earnings last month. Despite missing analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines, Musk downplayed the quarter and reiterated his vision for the future around AI, Full Self-Driving and robotaxis.
在上個月業績之前，特斯拉股價一直承壓。儘管未達到分析師對收入和利潤的預期，但馬斯克還是淡化了本季度，重申了他對人工智能、全自動駕駛和機器人出租車的未來願景。
"If somebody doesn't believe Tesla's going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company," Musk said on the call. "We will, and we are."
馬斯克在電話會議上說：“如果有人不相信特斯拉會解決自主權問題，我認爲他們不應該成爲該公司的投資者。”“我們會的，而且我們確實如此。”
TSLA Price Action: Tesla shares were down 3.69% at $171.24 at the time of publication, according to Benzinga Pro.
