DOJ probing if Tesla committed securities, wire fraud, Reuters says

U.S. prosecutors for the Justice Department are examining whether Tesla committed securities or wire fraud by misleading investors and consumers about its electric vehicles’ self-driving capabilities, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters’ Mike Spector and Chris Prentice. While Tesla has warned drivers to stay ready to take over driving, the DOJ is examining other statements by Tesla and Chief Executive Elon Musk suggesting its cars can drive themselves, according to the report.
