- Tesla went to trial over allegations that its Fremont factory subjected thousands of Black workers to racial slurs, segregation, and lower pay.
- The state of California brought the case, which covers more than 6,000 workers and carries no cap on damages — leaving Tesla's financial exposure uncapped.
Why it matters: With no statutory cap on damages and a state attorney general — not a private plaintiff — driving the case, Tesla faces potentially unlimited civil liability over systemic discrimination allegations spanning 6,000+ workers at its flagship Fremont plant, one of the largest U.S. auto factories.
