SAN FRANCISCO—Tesla Inc. said on Nov. 2 it had received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over forecasts it made about Model 3 production in 2017, a set of targets the electric vehicle company failed to hit on time.
The SEC issued subpoenas over “certain projections that we made for Model 3 production rates during 2017 and other public statements relating to Model 3 production,” Tesla said in a quarterly filing on Nov. 2. A subpoena can compel a company to turn over materials that the requesting agency wants to review.
