These are serious allegations and look like terrible injuries. This publication I'd never heard of does have some journalism awards. I looked at their other stories and they seem like a reasonable publication but the stories seem a tinge sensationalistic.
But since osha found tesla was doing a good enough job after months of investigation, it's hard to trust this report. I searched google news for osha penalties and found issues about nail gun injuries, plumbing, a death of a worker at a winery, metal working, foundry, etc. So I don't see them as just letting tesla get a free ride.
Could it be that tesla meets the legal requirements but some injuries aren't well treated? I like tesla generally but I want to see them treat their workers well. I'd like to see a more mainstream media investigation further, like the ny times maybe.
With tesla there was also an incredible negative fud campaign about them, leading to many sensible financial journalists mystified that they didn't go out of business. So I am struggling to be neutral about this story.

Its About page touts its recent awards (including a Peabody and a George Polk Award, plus finalists for the Pulitzers) but CIR is pretty well-known in journalism. Its founder is Lowell Bergman, who is probably most well-known for being played by Al Pacino in "The Insider", a dramatization of his investigation into the tobacco industry.
