Tesla Model 3 production reportedly under investigation by the FBI
“
Under examination is the company’s public statements about Model 3 productions as compared to the number of vehicles that were actually built. The company recently turned its first quarterly profit in two years after smoothing out what Tesla CEO Elon Musk called “production hell” on the Model 3.
In early 2017, Musk laid out an aggressive production plan for the Model 3, predicting it would be producing 20,000 vehicles a month by December 2017. “Looks like we can reach 20,000 Model 3 cars per month in Dec,” he tweeted on in July, a few days before Model 3 assembly began in earnest. But production delays and miscalculations resulted in only 2,700 Model 3s being built in all of 2017. The company finally reached its goal of building 5,000 Model 3 vehicles in one week in June 2018, but recently fell below that number.”

In a statement, a spokesperson said Tesla received a “voluntary request for documents from the Department of Justice about its public guidance for the Model 3 ramp” and that the company was cooperating. “We have not received a subpoena, a request for testimony, or any other formal process, and there have been no additional document requests about this from the Department of Justice for months,” the spokesperson said.”
