Tesla warns that a federal probe into whether it exaggerated the range of its cars may lead to a ‘material adverse impact on our business’::Earlier this year, Reuters reported that Tesla had created a special “diversions team” to avoid dealing with complaints from customers about their vehicle ranges.

... which is why there won't be a probe unless there are findings first. And from the sounds of it, there are findings.

If Tesla really did create a "special team" to deal with this issue, then that means it's very much a real issue. Reuters is a reliable publication - they would have gathered evidence before reporting that.
