The California attorney general is investigating Tesla over the electric car company's driver assistance technology, CNBC has learned.
The California attorney general is investigating Tesla, CNBC has learned, seeking information from customers and former employees regarding Autopilot safety and false advertising complaints.
By the second quarter of this year, an analyst with California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office left Wester a voicemail seeking to interview him about the issues referenced in the complaint. Wester shared the voice message with CNBC, and provided a copy of the FTC's automated response acknowledging receipt of his complaint.
To this day, Tesla has not delivered a self-driving car and sells "level 2" systems, which require an attentive driver behind the wheel who is ready to steer or brake at any time. A former Tesla employee whose family owns a 2021 Model 3 with the FSD option was contacted by email in July 2023 by a senior legal analyst in the California AG's consumer protection division. In the email, reviewed by CNBC, the analyst said she was seeking information from the person for an unspecified but active investigation into Tesla.
