A robotics technician at Tesla’s troubled Fremont, California, manufacturing plant is suing the Elon Musk-owned automaker for $51 million after he says an out-of-control robot suddenly struck him without warning, leaving the 50-year-old employee grievously injured and struggling to pay astronomical medical bills.
Peter Hinterdobler was helping an engineer disassemble the robot, which had been moved from its usual position on the Model 3 production line, according to a civil complaint obtained by The Independent.
