Tesla's Texas Gigafactory Plagued by Worker Injuries and Safety Lapses
A new report has shed light on the troubling safety record of Tesla's Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. The factory, which is crucial to Tesla's goal of producing 20 million vehicles annually, has been plagued by a series of serious accidents, including explosions, concussions, and gruesome robot-related injuries.
The report, published by The Information, details several incidents that have occurred at the factory. In one incident, a worker was pinned against a wall by a robot, causing him to suffer significant injuries. Another incident involved an explosion in the metal casting area that sent a worker flying backward, resulting in a concussion.
