Tesla Inc. is currently facing criticism and scrutiny following a recent liability award and concerns over vehicle safety issues. Reports have highlighted a rearview camera software update in Volvo vehicles that caused brake failures, drawing parallels to similar problems in Tesla cars, which critics allege were covered up by Tesla. The company's leadership, particularly CEO Elon Musk, has been described as contentious, with a history of strained relationships. Some market observers note Tesla's high price-to-earnings ratio exceeding 100, reflecting investor confidence in Musk despite ongoing controversies. Calls have been made for changes in Tesla's board governance, citing the company's handling of safety and legal challenges as reasons for leadership overhaul. Meanwhile, Tesla supporters remain optimistic about the company's prospects.
