Tesla is once again under the microscope as the automaker has revealed the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking information from them.
In a Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Tesla has a section dedicated to “Certain Investigations and Other Matters.” In it, the automaker reveals they have “received requests for information, including subpoenas, from the DOJ.”
Tesla went on to say “these have included requests for documents related to Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD [Full-Self Driving] features.” The company added they have also “received requests for information, including subpoenas from the DOJ, regarding certain matters associated with personal benefits, related parties, vehicle range and personnel decisions.”

While the filing doesn’t go into specifics, it’s easy to connect a few dots and get an idea about what’s happening. In regards to range, reports surfaced earlier this year suggesting the automaker purposely showed ‘optimistic’ ranges to owners. The company has also been sued over their range claims in the past.
On the Autopilot and FSD side, the government has a long history of probing Tesla and their semi-autonomous driving technology. Of course, this comes after a series of high-profile incidents and updates to the system.
While only time will tell what happens, Tesla said “To our knowledge, no government agency in any ongoing investigation has concluded that any wrongdoing occurred.” The company then acknowledged the obvious by stating if the government decides to pursue an enforcement action, they could be negatively impacted.
