Tesla CEO Elon Musk "appears to have asked" Tesla engineers to let the company's Model 3 autos leave the California factory without receiving a previously required type of brake testing, according to Business Insider.
Why it matters: Musk and Tesla were racing to meet a Q2 production goal of 5,000 Model 3 electric sedans a week by the end of June. The company has been taking aggressive measures to meet the target.
