California Puts Tesla's FSD Claims Under the Microscope

Tesla is in hot water in California. The state wants the company to change how it talks about its Full Self-Driving (FSD) tech. If Tesla doesn't shape up in 90 days, it could lose its license to sell cars in California for 30 days. This isn't just about words—it's about what drivers expect from the technology. Some experts are not happy with the ruling. Ross Gerber, who runs Gerber Kawasaki, thinks this is the end of Tesla calling its tech "full self-driving" when it isn't fully there yet. He's been critical but admits Tesla has made improvements. Even so, he still invests in Tesla, showing it's not all bad.Gene Munster, another big name in finance, thinks the ruling is "absurd. " He points out that Tesla already tells drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Munster jokes that Tesla might have to rename the feature to something like "California Driver Must Stay Alert and In Control At All Times Cruise Control. " He also believes Tesla will expand its driverless Robotaxi services soon. Tesla's stock has been doing well, making it the most valuable car company in the world. It's worth over $1. 58 trillion, way ahead of Toyota, BYD, and Xiaomi. The company scores high on momentum and quality but low on value. Its stock price has been trending up in the short, medium, and long term. Despite the good news, Tesla's stock took a hit recently, dropping 4. 62% to $467. 26. But it bounced back a bit in after-hours trading, up 0. 46% to $469. 40. This shows that even big companies face ups and downs.
