WASHINGTON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - The CEOs of the Detroit

Three automakers and a senior Tesla executive have been invited

to appear at a Jan. 14 Senate hearing on the impact of auto

regulations and vehicle prices, Reuters has learned.

General Motors ( GM ) CEO Mary Barra, Ford CEO Jim

Farley, Stellantis ( STLA ) CEO Antonio Filosa and Tesla

Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy have

been asked to appear at the previously unreported Senate

Commerce Committee hearing that will review the impact of

vehicle emissions and electric vehicle regulations on auto

prices. "This hearing will examine how government interference

continues to make vehicles expensive and out of reach for

American customers and how we can restore competition and

choice," Senate Commerce Committee chair Ted Cruz said in a

statement to Reuters, noting the average price of a car has more

than doubled in the past decade.
