REUTERS/Mike Blake/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has sought documents and issued subpoenas to Tesla (TSLA.O) as it scrutinizes the automaker's driver assistance system Autopilot and vehicle driving range, among other issues, the company said on Monday.
Tesla said in a regulatory filing it has received requests for information "including subpoenas, from the DOJ.
These have included requests for documents related to Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD features" and other requests "associated with personal benefits, related parties, vehicle range and personnel decisions."
Reuters reported in October 2022 that Tesla was under a Justice Department criminal investigation over claims the company's electric vehicles can drive themselves, citing people familiar with the matter.
The company's spending is, however, expected to return to the $7 billion to $9 billion range in the next two years, a regulatory filing showed.
