In the United States, more than 570,000 cars were recalled, and Tesla plunged nearly 3% of its market value to evaporate 180 billion

Tesla recalled 578607 car in the United States for speaker function or sound problems that masked pedestrian warning systems, the 11th since October last year.

The National Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on February 10 that the recall was mainly due to the "Boombox" function in Tesla speakers, which allows drivers to play sounds while the vehicle is moving, which may mask the sound warning to pedestrians, thus violating federal safety standards.

NHTSA said Tesla will fix the issue by means of a remote upgrade (OTA) and the "Boombox" feature will be disabled.

The recall covers the Model S, Model X and Model Y produced between 2020 and 2022, and the Model 3 produced between 2017 and 2022.

As U.S. safety regulators step up scrutiny of Tesla, Tesla has recently opened frequent large-scale recalls. On Wednesday, Tesla announced it would recall 26,681 vehicles in the U.S. due to software errors that could lead to a decline in windshield defrost performance.

On February 3, Tesla announced a recall of more than 817,000 vehicles in the United States because of software security issues, which is also the largest recall in the company's history.

For the frequent quality problems of Tesla vehicles, the company's CEO Musk has long foreseen. In an interview as early as February last year, Musk publicly admitted that once the company significantly expanded production capacity, the quality of Tesla's electric vehicles would be affected.

When asked when he should buy Tesla, Musk admitted that the average customer will either buy it at the beginning or wait for the production to stabilize before buying, and the company's products will be doomed to various problems in the process of production climbing.

Tesla closed down nearly 3 percent, wiping out more than $28 billion (about 180 billion yuan) at $904.55 per share, for a total market capitalization of $934.9 billion.
