- Tesla Inc. faces probe for vehicle range and Musk’s ‘Glass House.’

Tesla Inc. (TSLA) Stock – Financial Analysis and Current Issues
Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating the much-hyped secret initiative “Project 42.” Authorities want to determine if Elon Musk is using customer money to build the ‘Glass House’ in Austin, Texas. Also, they want to know if the company’s resources were inappropriately allocated to finish the project. However, the total current expenditure on the project and future expenses are under investigation.
Another issue was highlighted when a media house complained that Tesla vehicles failed to deliver the range promised in July 2023. Others have also tested the vehicles in different scenarios but the promised range still needs delivery. Experts say that Tesla uses an ancient algorithm to calculate range and is flawed. These two issues are denting the image of Tesla Inc.
