Tesla China Takes Legal Action Against FUD (Fake News) from Nonsense Media.
Tesla has sent an indictment and other legal notices to Chinese news agency PingWest on a report released on December 25 that reported harsh working conditions and quality control problems at Tesla's Gigafactory Shanghai.
The article published by PingWest, which contained false information, attracted a lot of public attention, negatively affecting the image of Giga Shanghai and Tesla as a whole. Now Tesla seeks to achieve justice and is suing the publication, Benzinga reports.
The report, which was published in both Chinese and English, in order to attract a lot of public attention, argued that workers are working in "sweatshop" conditions in a factory in Shanghai and are facing great pressure from superiors.
