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

Lock out procedure wasn't followed properly. You're supposed to check that equipment is in a safe state before you go into a dangerous area like that.

Almost one in 21 workers at Tesla's Giga Texas factory was injured on the job in 2022, according to The Information, compared to the industry average of one in 30.

It’s almost like they have some systemic issue with safety and procedures or something…

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.
