News that the Unites States Traffic and Safety Administration might investigate a recent Model S fire has caused shares of Tesla to fall 10 percent. Over the last few months, Tesla had been through a period of large growth making this drop a surprise to many. Recently however, shares have been trending up and down, especially over the last month with shares moving from about $180 a share to $170 then back to $180 and now down to $160. The recent ten percent drop is a significant shot to Tesla, but the company should be able to bounce back if their plan to introduce even more affordable cars takes off with consumers.

On Friday November 1st, Instagram began to unroll its update to include advertising in users' feeds. The company hopes that users will enjoy the advertisements, which will start out with a sponsored Michael Kors image. Viewers will then be able to provide feedback on the image or click to hide it. Although parent company Facebook has not said when, advertisements by companies such as Adidas, Levi's, and Macy's will begin to appear in users' feeds at some point in the future. It is important that these ads are not intrusive enough to drive away users, as Facebook needs to be able to monetize Instagram if it hopes to make up the costs of its $1 billion acquisition of the company
