Tesla CEO Elon Musk ordered his employees to stop putting nearly finished Model 3s through a critical test before leaving the company's factory in Fremont, California, according to an internal document viewed by Business Insider.

It's called the brake-and-roll test, and it ensures the car is correctly aligned.

An industry expert told Business Insider that every automaker does this test to ensure quality and function.
