As Tesla prepares to deliver its first Cybertrucks to customers, a new report paints a grisly picture of the Texas factory where the truck is being built, including a casting machine explosion and a robot allegedly goring a worker.
One incident in 2021 involved an engineer who approached a supposed shutdown robot arm but got clawed and pinned to the wall by the machine performing its programmed motions.
A witness who saw surveillance video said the explosion sent a ball of fire and smoke into the air, damaged the die, and curled up a door that seals the chamber.
In June, contractors installing metal grating for elevated walkways in the factory fell to the ground due to a lack of protective equipment.
It’s not the only time things fell from above: The Information reports incidents of air conditioning ducts, steel beams, and other building materials crashing to the ground near autoworkers.
Tesla has been accused of underreporting injuries and of failing to address hazards in an outdoor tent that was erected for the assembly line, incurring fines.
