A production associate working on a powertrain line at Tesla in Fremont collapsed and died early Wednesday morning.
Now the state agency that oversees workplace safety is investigating into what happened.
Cal-Occupational Safety and Health Administration spokesman Peter Melton said that the car manufacturer notified his agency about the death and state investigators are in the process of gathering more information to determine the work-relatedness of this event and whether to conduct an inspection.
A powertrain is an improved motor, inverter and gearbox, according to Tesla's website.
The identification of the employee was not given.
About 6:30 a.m., at least three Fremont police cars and one fire truck were seen in front of the Tesla plant.
This death comes about a month after Anthony Solima, 29, a Tesla employee allegedly waited for his coworker to get off work, before fatally shooting him in the head in the factory's parking lot, prosecutors said.
Solima was charged with murder and the special circumstance if lying in wait, as well as possession of an assault weapon.
Solima and the victim, identified as Lee Brasier, 42, had gotten into an argument at work earlier that week and Solima abruptly walked off the job, authorities said.
Prosecutors said Solima came back to the Tesla facility and waited in the parking lot with a .223-caliber short-barreled AR-15 and shot Brasier in the head just after he finished his shift. His keys were still in the door of his Toyota Tundra, authorities said.
Brasier sustained at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.
You never worked there.
I did. That strengthens my opinion.
Have you ever even worked at a start up?
Hey smart guy. I said the working conditions were worse than any start up I had worked at
Don’t you get it? I didn’t call it a start up. I was making a comparison
Ha,ha. If nothing else, Tesla’s are just ugly. And I’m sure you support the American taxpayer subsidizing Elon Musk’s businesses right? Oh, and you might want to switch over to decaf.
Nobody needs to work at a startup to know how great working at Tesla is. Tesla has never had a problem recruiting and retaining staff even in high wage, labor challenged Silicon Valley.
That’s all we need to know.
Again you are bringing in all this talk about “startups” about a company that is NOT a startup right now. Totally irrelevant.
Hey UAW troll, you brought in “startups” into this thread. Tesla is NOT a startup. It hasn't been for a long time.
Is that why Tesla sells a massive 66% of all EV'S sold in the US last year? Over TWICE as many as the rest of the car companies combined?
And GM only sold a miserly 26 EV'S in the entire 4th quarter?
And I'm sure you support the American taxpayer subsidizing Elon Musk's businesses right?
I notice you are very quiet about the record $11 Billion in taxes that Elon Musk paid last year alone. More than anyone has ever paid in history?
Not to mention, Tesla EV’s stopped getting EV subsidies over 2 years ago and they still easily outsell every other car company in EV sales in the US.
I never called Tesla a start up
You obviously lack reading comprehension
I have NEVER belonged to a union
Now answer my questions
You said that before
The turn over rate is horrendous. People come for the pay but don’t stay
The working conditions suck
You never worked there. I did. Enough said
So you’ve never worked at a start up or at Tesla
So you are just blowing smoke
I never said I did.
Again this thread is not about startups. It’s about Tesla which is NOT a startup, unless you call Google a “startup” too.
And you are blowing far worse than smoke from your posterior.
You never worked at a startup. You never worked at Tesla. Maybe you’re just a hack
That post is the same as your post #49. I bashed that down already in #50 and # 51.
You are slipping troll.
What more ya got?
I am not a troll. You bashed nothing
I am done with your silliness
Go to #53.
And 50. And 51.
Again.
So you’re a big fan of Elon Musk then?
Who isn’t?
He’s better than the rest of the far left, lockdown Nazi billionaires combined.
I’ll give you that. It’s adorable that he thinks his autonomous vehicles are ever going to be fully safe using only cameras though.
