DOJ Expands Tesla Inquiry to Include Range Claims, Executive Benefits, and Elon Musk's Austin House

The Department of Justice has expanded its inquiry into Tesla to include vehicle range claims and benefits to executives.

Tesla said the government subpoenaed documents related to a house planned for Elon Musk near the Austin factory.

Tesla Model Y fell short of claimed range in Consumer Reports testing, unlike some other electric SUVs.

The DOJ previously subpoenaed documents related to Tesla's self-driving software and lawsuits over accidents.

Tesla says it is cooperating with the DOJ inquiry and other investigations by regulators into its business practices.
