Sönke Iwersen: German investigative journalist on the new expose unveiling the inner workings of Tesla
from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB
Back in 2022, investigative reporter Sönke Iwersen received 100 gigabytes of confidential leaked data from a whistle-blower inside Tesla. The files detailed dangerous autopilot software errors, a high number of workplace accidents in Tesla’s factories and a culture of fear within the company. Iwersen's investigation is now a book called The Tesla Files: Inside Elon Musk's Empire of Power and Deception. "We found, actually, that there had been warnings inside Tesla about this mistake, the level of insecurity - and later, the guy who had warned us about it was later fired for it."
