Tesla was responding to a report from CNBC that said five people “familiar with operations” at the Fremont plant claimed that Tesla has had at least four fires in its paint shop since 2014. The unnamed sources cited by CNBC said the fires resulted from improper cleaning and maintenance of equipment, as well as new employees not getting enough training to deal with such circumstances due to production-goal demands. The main fire in question occurred in April, which Tesla acknowledged shortly after it took place. Tesla said that fire happened in one of the several dozen paint shop areas at the factory and afterward, the company used one production shift to get the fire and its aftermath under control. CNBC reports that Tesla did not report that fire to the Fremont Fire Department, according to a department spokesperson. Tesla said it suffered no material delay in production as a result of the fire. Get tech news in your inbox weekday mornings.
