Elon Musk’s car company had also complained to European capitals about the probe, an EU diplomat said.After an initial assessment, the commission announced in June that Chinese vehicle manufacturers including BYD and Geely could be subject to higher-than-expected tariffs of up to 48 per cent on cars imported into the bloc.
