A whistleblower. A 100GB-leak of confidential internal documents. A corporation in crisis. This is the story of the fight to expose the truth of Tesla.

Elon Musk, the self-appointed saviour of civilisation, the genius intent on leading us into a new age of electric vehicles, is one of the wealthiest people on the planet. But a whistleblower, a 100GB-leak of confidential Tesla documents, and two investigative journalists reveal the frightening truth behind the façade—an unusually high number of workplace accidents in Musk's factories, dangerous errors in Tesla's autopilot software, a culture of fear and deception, and countless broken promises.

Through its chilling analysis of leaked internal Tesla data and court documents set alongside the astonishing first-hand accounts of employees, customers, and their bereaved families, The Tesla Files is the definitive exposé of the world's most powerful businessman and the rise and fall of his empire.
