Ahead of Tesla's annual general meeting (AGM) on Thursday there's been one key message the electric car-maker has been hammering home to shareholders: the boss is worth $1tn.

Federal regulators ordered Tesla to comply with an investigation into possibly defective door handles that reportedly led to trapped passengers.

Major automakers including General Motors , Tesla , Toyota Motor and Ford urged the Trump administration to extend a North American free trade deal they call crucial to American auto production.

Critics warn that messaging implying Tesla's Full Self-Driving system can prevent a drowsy driver from crashing risks sending the wrong signal.
