"25 California Counties Settle Hazardous Waste Lawsuit with Tesla for $1.5 Million"

Two dozen California counties are suing Tesla for its mishandling of hazardous waste at its Fremont Factory, alleging violations of the state's health code. The complaint accuses Tesla of improper disposal, transportation, and handling of hazardous materials, including those used in the production and servicing of electric vehicles. The list of counties involved in the lawsuit includes San Joaquin, Alameda, Los Angeles, and many others. This is not the first time Tesla has faced environmental legal action, having previously paid penalties to the EPA for air pollutant record-keeping violations.
