Tesla is suing two former employees, which it is accusing of misappropriating internal information relating to employees as part of massive data leak
The automaker has filed lawsuits against the two employees alleged to have leaked the data, and says that their electronic devices were seized. It also obtained court orders to prohibit the employees from using, accessing, or disseminating any more data relating to Tesla. In addition to the allegations, the filing contains a template letter Tesla plans to send to employees whose data was included in the leak.
Handelsblatt, the newspaper that received the leaked data on May 10, has promised to protect sensitive data relating to current and former employees, as is required by law in Germany. It did however report on consumer complaints related to Tesla’s advanced, including reports of sudden acceleration, phantom braking, and more than 1,000 crashes.
It further reported that, in its handling of these customer complaints, the automaker was more interested in protecting its reputation than in helping affected customers. Tesla allegedly used evasive strategies and advised representatives to avoid leaving paper trails with customers in order to prevent reports of its ADAS technologies’ shortcomings to become public.
