In a race to get the long-awaited Model 3 production running as planned, Tesla quietly concealed the true number of workplace injuries at its Fremont, California assembly plant, according to a new report. This offsets reports the company made about a sharp drop in injuries and casts another shadow over the plans to reach mass production targets.

Tesla may have violated state law by failing to report these serious worker injuries, according to an investigation by Reveal and The Center for Investigative Reporting. These include reports of “sliced by machinery, crushed by forklifts, burned in electrical explosions and sprayed with molten metal,” the Reveal story states.
