Whistleblowers filed a complaint to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2021, alleging that Tesla may have violated the law and misled shareholders, employees, and customers. The complaint included allegations of improper categorization of repairs, poor control over internal systems, and inconsistencies in communications and policies. The SEC assigned one person to review part of the complaint but never interviewed the whistleblowers or reviewed the extensive evidence they offered. The whistleblowers fear retaliation from Elon Musk and requested confidential treatment. Experts suggest that the allegations raise questions about Tesla's compliance with securities laws and accounting requirements.

The settlement agreement states that the company knowingly submitted unsupported and invalid diagnostic codes, resulting in payments to which it was not entitled. Martin's Point denies liability but decided to settle to avoid the costs and uncertainty of litigation. The settlement does not release the company from the possibility of criminal charges.
