Citation needed please.
Tesla's factories are the most dangerous car factories in the US by an order of magnitude more __than all other car manufacturers combined [0]__.
With such a bad safety track record, they must be completely high to believe that they are going to be doing significantly better with a pandemic going on.
Right now, not only the safety of their workers is at stake, but also the safety of the whole region around their factories.
Their track record proves that they cannot be trusted with the safety of their workers, what makes anybody believe that they can be trusted with the safety of whole regions instead?
Doesn't make any sense to me.

- TaylorAlexander 6y agoSomeone pointed out that California OSHA is known to be strict, while other auto manufacturers are in different states. So it's unclear whether Tesla is objectively less safe or if the regulating body is simply more willing to hand out citations. Perhaps injury rates would be more telling, though California may have broader rules for what counts as injury. I guess my point is it may not be true that "more Cal OSHA citations" == "less safe".
- fluffything 6y agoGood point, thanks.
