A third one, which grabbed and moved the car parts, was inadvertently left operational, according to two people who watched it happen. As that robot ran through its normal motions, it pinned the engineer against a surface, pushing its claws into his body and drawing blood from his back and his arm, the two people said,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinformation.com\/articles\/at-teslas-giant-texas-factory-injuries-and-safety-lapses-mount?irclickid=VjQ05dUtIxyPR%3AcTVxXnl1%3A4UkHxwPyxs0swW80&amp;irgwc=1&amp;utm_source=affiliate&amp;utm_medium=cpa&amp;utm_campaign=10078-Skimbit+Ltd.&amp;utm_term=dailymail.co.uk\">The Information<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Quick action was taken by Tesla workers who intervened and triggered the emergency shutdown button to halt the malfunctioning robot and prevent further injury to the engineer.<\/p>\n<p>This incident came to light through a 2021 injury report filed to Travis County and federal regulators, which Daily Mail reviewed. Tesla is legally required to report such incidents to ensure the continuation of state-provided tax incentives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2 last:mb-0\">Despite claims by Tesla that the engineer did not require time off following the event, an attorney representing the factory\u2019s contract laborers suggests otherwise. Evidence hints at possible underreporting of workplace accidents, casting doubt on the official records.<\/p>\n<p>Document from Tesla obtained by Daily Mail<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-12869629\/Tesla-robot-ATTACKS-engineer-companys-Texas-factory-violent-malfunction-leaving-trail-blood-forcing-workers-hit-emergency-shutdown-button.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus\">Daily Mail<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The injury report, which Tesla must submit to authorities by law to maintain its lucrative tax breaks in\u00a0<span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/texas\/index.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas<\/a><\/span>, claimed the engineer did not require time off of work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But one attorney who represents Tesla\u2019s Giga Texas contract workers has told\u00a0<span class=\"skimlinks-unlinked\">DailyMail.com<\/span>\u00a0she believes, based on her conversations with workers there, that the amount of injuries suffered at the factory is going underreported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This underreporting, the attorney said, even included the September 28, 2021 death of a construction worker, who had been contracted to help build the factory itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018My advice would be to read that report with a grain of salt,\u2019 the attorney,\u00a0Hannah Alexander of the nonprofit\u00a0<a class=\"class\" href=\"https:\/\/workersdefense.org\/en\/team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Workers Defense Project<\/a>, told\u00a0<span class=\"skimlinks-unlinked\">DailyMail.com<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018We\u2019ve had multiple workers who were injured,\u2019 Alexander said, \u2018and one worker who died, whose injuries or death are not in these reports that Tesla is supposed to be accurately completing and submitting to the county in order to get tax incentives.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk has yet to issue a formal statement in response to these allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Just recently, Tesla revealed the second generation of its humanoid robot, Optimus Gen 2.<\/p>\n<p>Optimus Gen 2 stands at a height of 5 feet 11 inches and weighs in at a light 121 pounds, shedding 22 pounds from the first model.
