A former Tesla technician who claims to be a whistleblower regarding wrongdoing at the company has posted a series of tweets purporting to show vehicles were shipped with damaged battery modules and scrap that had been stored incorrectly.

Martin Tripp, 40, is currently embroiled in a legal back-and-forth with his former employer, which recently hit him with a lawsuit alleging that he had hacked into computer systems and transferred “several gigabytes” of data to unknown third parties. Tripp, who has denied the accusations, is now countersuing Tesla, led by Elon Musk, for defamation and malpractice.
