Why Tesla Stock Got Clobbered Today

What happened

Shares of Tesla ( TSLA -0.59{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809} ) ran into a ditch Monday morning, sliding 4.8{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809} as of 10 a.m. EDT on twin negative news items from Reuters and The New York Times.

So what

Let’s cover the more topical news from Reuters first. Remember how last week, Tesla stock got a brief pop, and investors had a chuckle, over news that Tesla was selling a limited edition “Cyberwhistle” shaped like its long-awaited (and still not here) Cybertruck? Well, today we learned what that inside joke was all about.

Turns out, a whistleblower within Tesla’s solar systems division (the artist formerly known as SolarCity) is alleging to the Securities and Exchange Commission that the company “failed to properly notify its shareholders and the public of fire risks associated with solar panel system defects over several years,” reports Reuters. The SEC is taking the allegations seriously and has opened an investigation. Although both the SEC and Tesla declined to comment, Reuters reports that the scale of the scandal could be significant, affecting “more than 60,000 residential customers in the U.S. and 500 government and commercial accounts.”  

Meanwhile, The New York Times is reporting that Tesla “may have undermined safety in designing its Autopilot driver-assistance system” for electric cars. This second report focuses on Elon Musk’s desire to have Autopilot rely exclusively on camera data to interpret its environment, rather than supplementing cameras with radar and lidar sensors as other car companies are trying to do. According to NYT, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now investigating whether this decision might have contributed to “at least 12 accidents in which Teslas using Autopilot drove into parked fire trucks, police cars and other emergency vehicles.”  

NHTSA is also considering whether Musk may have misled car buyers into thinking that Autopilot’s “full self driving” (FSD) capability was what its name suggests — a fully autonomous system — when its actual capabilities were, in Musk’s own words, “not great.”

Now what

How big a risk do these twin investigations pose to Tesla’s business? The SEC investigation, I suspect, will produce at most a fine from the agency and some reputational damage to Tesla’s relatively tiny energy generation and storage business, which, honestly, doesn’t produce a whole lot of profit for Tesla in any case. Of the two news items, I’d say it’s the less significant.

There’s greater risk of fines, recall costs, and reputational damage in the NHTSA investigation. But even there, well, with Tesla continuing to produce data showing that Tesla cars using Autopilot are crashing at a rate of only one accident per 4.41 million miles driven (versus a crash every 484,000 miles for ordinary drivers in ordinary cars), the data sure seems to suggest that — headlines notwithstanding — Autopilot increases driver safety by a factor of nine, rather than subtracting from it at all.  

With the stock down only a few percentage points, investors — while a bit nervous today — by and large seem to think that Tesla will come out of both of these investigations looking just fine.

This article represents the opinion of the writer, who may disagree with the “official” recommendation position of a Motley Fool premium advisory service. We’re motley! Questioning an investing thesis – even one of our own – helps us all think critically about investing and make decisions that help us become smarter, happier, and richer.

NFL schedule Week 13: TV coverage, channels, scores for every football game today

The NFL is reaching the final stretch of the season, with just six more weeks of regular-season action remaining, and several contenders will fight with high stakes on the line.

The Bengals continue to make a push in the AFC, both in the hunt for the North and for a wild card, after a thumping of the rival Steelers. On Sunday, they face the Chargers, who have lost four of their last six games and now find themselves needing to fight to re-emerge back in the playoff picture. The Buccaneers will have a chance to add to their division lead over the Falcons when the two clash in Atlanta.

In the afternoon slot, the Steelers will hope to turn things around in another AFC North battle against the Ravens, who are clinging to a one-game edge over Cincinnati after beating the Browns last Sunday.

The “Monday Night Football” matchup has perhaps the most enticing game of the week. The Bills will host the surging Patriots, who have won six straight to claim first place in the AFC East.

Coronavirus daily news updates, December 4: What to know today about COVID-19 in the Seattle area, Washington state and the world

Editor’s note: This is a live account of COVID-19 updates from Saturday, Dec. 4, as the day unfolded. It is no longer being updated. Click here to see all the most recent news about the pandemic, and click here to find additional resources.

Health and safety measures aimed at protecting communities against the delta variant should remain as the foundation for fighting the pandemic, World Health Organization officials said Friday. The announcement came as dozens of countries continue to report cases of the mutated omicron variant.

The variant appears to be three times more likely to cause reinfection in a person than the delta and beta variants, an aspect that may shed light on how the variant quickly spread across the globe, according to a preliminary study from South African scientists, which is yet to be peer-reviewed.

Though it’s still not known how much protection current COVID-19 vaccines provide against the new variant, scientists say the vaccines still offer the most protection against severe illness and possible death.

As countries grapple with increased COVID-19 cases and uncertainties over the omicron variant, the outgoing Czech government announced it will issue a vaccine mandate for people 60 and over as well as some professional groups. Though the plan is in motion, it’s still unclear whether the succeeding health minister will enforce the mandate.

Navigating the pandemic

(Jennifer Luxton / The Seattle Times)


Omicron variant found in Washington state

Washington state health authorities Saturday confirmed three cases of the omicron variant of the coronavirus have been found in Thurston, Pierce and King counties.

The patients, two men and one woman, range in age from 20 to 39, according to the Washington State Department of Health. At least one of the three infected, a King County woman in her 20s, was vaccinated.

In a media briefing Saturday, state health officials said the emergence of the omicron variant is a cause for concern but not panic.

Little is yet known about the severity of illness it causes or about the efficacy of the vaccines against it. However, it is expected to spread much faster than other variants.

While scientists figure that out, which the officials said will take “weeks, not days,” they urged the community to adhere to the now standard COVID protection protocols: get vaccinated and get a booster shot when eligible; wear good-quality masks at indoor gatherings and at crowded outdoor venues; wash hands frequently; and stay home and away from others if you have symptoms.

U.S. colleges prepare for unknowns with omicron variant

Officials at U.S. colleges, already bracing for a potential rise in coronavirus cases when students returned to campus after Thanksgiving break, are worried about the impact of the new omicron variant, with its troubling mutations and a host of unknowns.

School leaders are wondering what will happen with the variant over the coming winter break – and how that might affect the spring semester.

For now, most schools are sticking with the virus mitigation rules and strategies they have in place, but ramping up reminders about testing, vaccination and other safety measures. And they are monitoring the situation closely, ready to pivot to more stringent rules if needed when students return after winter break.

Study: Black, Asian Britons have higher COVID-19 death rates

A report commissioned by the U.K. government concluded that almost two years into the pandemic, Black people and members of other racial and ethnic minorities in Britain are still dying with the coronavirus at higher rates than white residents.

The likely cause is thought to be lower vaccination rates among those minority populations.

Italian dentist presents fake arm for vaccine to get pass

MILAN — A dentist in Italy faces possible criminal charges after trying to receive a coronavirus vaccine in a fake arm made of silicone. 

A nurse in the northern city of Biella, Filippa Bua, said she could tell right away that something was off when a man presented the phony limb for a shot on Thursday.

“When I uncovered the arm, I felt skin that was cold and gummy, and the color was too light,’’ Bua told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

New York announced three more cases of the omicron variant of the coronavirus Saturday, bringing the number of state cases linked to the new variant to eight. 

“The omicron variant is here, and as anticipated we are seeing the beginning of community spread,” state Health Commissioner Mary Bassett said in a news release.

The number of states finding the variant is growing as well, with authorities in New Jersey, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Maryland reporting their first confirmed cases Friday, and Missouri reporting its first presumed case.

Anti-lockdown protesters march through Dutch city of Utrecht

UTRECHT, Netherlands — Thousands of people marched peacefully through the Dutch city of Utrecht on Saturday to protest the government’s coronavirus lockdown measures.

Holding balloons, umbrellas and banners, including ones that said: “It’s not right,” protesters watched by a large police presence moved from a park into the city center without incident. 

Siebke Koopman said he was demonstrating against more than just the Dutch government’s COVID-19 restrictions.

US drugstores squeezed by vaccine demand, staff shortages

A rush of vaccine-seeking customers and staff shortages are squeezing drugstores around the U.S., leading to frazzled workers and temporary pharmacy closures.

Drugstores are normally busy this time of year with flu shots and other vaccines, but now pharmacists are doling out a growing number of COVID-19 shots and giving coronavirus tests.

The push for shots is expected to grow more intense as President Joe Biden urges vaccinated Americans to get booster shots to combat the emerging omicron variant.

Many road warriors’ suitcases and passports have been gathering dust since the COVID-19 pandemic brought business travel to a halt.

That’s not the case at Chicago-based Devbridge, which hosted an all-hands event in Lithuania earlier this year and brought teams from Toronto, London and Lithuania to its Chicago office last month to workshop new products with clients.

Police get complaints over U.K. leader’s festive parties

LONDON — Britain’s opposition Labour Party has raised complaints to police about Christmas parties held by Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s staff in his office last year in breach of coronavirus restrictions. 

The reports surfaced as many in the U.K. and elsewhere are increasingly concerned about festive parties and socializing over Christmas this year amid the spread of the new omicron variant.

COVID kills a leading anti-vaccine televangelist; evangelicals don’t want to talk about it

When famed televangelist Marcus Lamb died this week at 64 after contracting COVID-19, a who’s who of conservative Christian leaders sent out regrets. Evangelist Franklin Graham said Lamb is now “experiencing heaven.” National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference head Samuel Rodriguez called him a “faithful follower of Jesus … with a heart for the lost and broken.”

Absent was a painful truth: Lamb had led his global Christian network, Daystar, for months in spreading inaccurate information about coronavirus vaccines and instead promoting treatments that are not proven remedies. The vaccines, a May segment on Daystar said, falsely, are “killing your immune system.”

AURORA, Ill. — There is sobering evidence of Samantha Lewis’ struggle with long COVID-19 on her bathroom mirror.

Above the sink, she has posted an index card scrawled with nine steps reminding her how to brush her teeth. It is one of many strategies Lewis, 34, has learned from “cognitive rehab,” an intensive therapy program for COVID-19 survivors whose lives have been upended by problems like brain fog, memory lapses, dizziness and debilitating fatigue.

BERLIN — Outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday made what is likely her final appeal before leaving office next week for Germans to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Merkel gave what is expected to be her last weekly video message two days after federal and state leaders decided on a series of measures meant to break a wave of coronavirus infections. 

The measures include excluding unvaccinated people across the country from nonessential stores, restaurants and sports and cultural venues. In a longer-term move, parliament will consider a general vaccine mandate.

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday authorized Eli Lilly’s monoclonal antibody treatment for infants and children under age 12 with COVID-19 who are at high risk of becoming severely ill from the virus because they have a condition such as obesity or diabetes.

Previously, high-risk COVID patients 12 or older had been eligible to get the drugs, which are typically administered intravenously at a clinic or hospital and have been shown to lower the risk of hospitalization and death.

OLYMPIA — More than 129,000 children ages 5 through 11 in Washington state have received their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric vaccine since eligibility expanded to include younger kids on Nov. 3, health officials said this week. 

“While COVID-19 is often milder in children than adults, children can still get very sick and spread the disease to family and friends, which is an even bigger concern as people gather this holiday season,” Secretary of Health Dr. Umair A. Shah said Thursday. “As a father, knowing our children are vaccinated helps me breathe a sigh of relief.”

The Washington men’s basketball team will suffer its first Pac-12 defeat due to COVID-19 developments within the program.

The Huskies are unable to host No. 5-ranked UCLA on Sunday at Alaska Airlines Arena and will forfeit the game in accordance to Pac-12 guidelines.

Washington has seven players and coaches in COVID-19 protocols, according to a Los Angeles Times report that cited an anonymous source.

So far, Washington workers pushed out over vaccine mandates aren’t losing jobless benefits

In August, when Gov. Jay Inslee ordered state employees, health care workers and others to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 18, officials issued a stern warning: If you quit or get fired for refusing a jab, don’t expect unemployment benefits. 

But nearly two months after the vaccination deadline, it’s unclear just how much vaccine-hesitant workers have to worry about. 

Although thousands of workers in Washington likely have quit or been fired over government and private vaccine mandates — including nearly 2,000 state employees as of Nov. 15, according to state data — just 26 mandate-related claims for jobless benefits had been flagged for review by the state Employment Security Department as of Friday. Although the review process isn’t complete, ESD officials don’t believe that any of those claims have been denied.

The Cowboys head to New Orleans to face the Saints in a NFC battle on ‘Thursday Night Football’ this week.

The Saints have been dealing with quarterback issues for the last month since their starting QB Jameis Winston suffered a season ending torn ACL. Trevor Siemian started the last four games, so he has yet to win a game for the Saints. Taysom Hill, who started some for the Saints last season, is expected to start on Thursday. He suffered a concussion in Week 5, and has been dealing with a foot injury since.

NFL schedule Week 12: TV coverage, channels, scores for every football game today

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and all that remain are the leftovers in the fridge and 12 more games in the Week 12 NFL slate.

Three games were already played on Thanksgiving, but that was just the start of this week in NFL action, and there are several games with heavy playoff implications. The Buccaneers will hope to slow down Jonathan Taylor and the surging Colts, who have won five of their past six games, while the AFC South-leading Titans will do battle with the AFC East-leading Patriots, who have won five straight.

There’s also a matchup of two AFC North contenders with the Bengals hosting the Steelers in a rematch of a Week 3 matchup between the two teams. In the later afternoon slot, several of the NFC’s best will be on display with a high-profile matchup pitting the Rams against the Packers, as both teams are looking for a rebound after losing in their last games. The two teams that most recently claimed wins against Los Angeles and Green Bay, the 49ers and Vikings, will also be playing as both look to improve on their 5-5 records.

And the remaining two primetime games bring plenty of excitement, with the Browns taking on the Ravens in another AFC North clash on Sunday, and the Washington Football Team facing the Seahawks on Monday.

Sporting News has you covered for everything you need to watch Week 12 of the season.
