A whistleblower. A 100BG-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 savior of civilization, 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 fa ade- 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 expose of the world's most powerful businessman and the rise and fall of his empire.
