O The Emergencies Department of Pudong district, in Shanghai, recommended that the US manufacturer be fined, but did not indicate an amount, according to the magazine specialized in economic affairs Caixin and other Chinese media.
Chinese media quoted a copy of the official report posted on the city executive’s portal.
The report has meanwhile been removed from the portal. An official at the state agency, identified only by his surname Wu, said Tesla asked that the document not be released because it contained photos of its production process.
The investigation concluded that the Tesla employee who died did not follow rules and did not lock a security gate, according to the linked press release.
Information now known also revealed that another employee failed to make sure the area was clear of people before turning on the equipment, which crushed the 31-year-old employee. The worker later died in a hospital.
Tesla employees this week reported that their bonuses were reduced due to the accident.
On Monday, the founder and CEO of the electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, Elon Musk, reacted to the situation through the social network Twitter: “I was alerted this weekend. We are analyzing the case”.
