The investigation concerns whether Tesla and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In an August 19, 2013 press release, Tesla touted its Model S as having achieved the “best safety rating of any car ever tested” by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”). On October 2, 2013, an analyst downgraded Tesla due to “execution risk.” Later the same day, a Model S burst into flames following a purported collision, with Tesla later admitting that the fire began in its battery pack.
On this news, shares of Tesla fell $12.05 per share from its $193.00 October 1, 2013 closing price (more than 6.24%) on intraday trading to a closing price of $180.95 on October 2, 2013. Its stock fell further in after-hours trading, and opened at $175.045 on October 3, 2013.
