given the scrutiny around Tesla, it's interesting this story doesn't seem to have come out sooner since this is a fairly novel workplace accident

Average is one in 30? Wild. The P&G plant near my house was at a few hundred days with no incidents recently. For Tesla to be doing even worse than 1/30 tho? Yikes

The Tesla factory in Germany has roughly 3 times as many reportable incidents as comparable factories.

Another way to look at it is that the average manufacturing worker has a safety incident every 30 years.
