Tesla disclosed multiple subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Justice in its third-quarter filing out Monday.
The DOJ has pressed Tesla for information about the range of the company’s electric vehicles, as well as “personal benefits, related parties,” and “personnel decisions,” among other things the filing said.
The Wall Street Journal reported in August that federal prosecutors were investigating whether Tesla used company funds to design and build a “glass house project” for Musk. Last year, Reuters reported that a federal criminal investigation was underway concerning Tesla’s claims that its cars were self-driving.
Reuters has reported, and research by Recurrent and others have revealed, that Tesla’s cars frequently fail to achieve the mileage stated in range estimates and shown on the in-vehicle displays.
