Tesla is being sued for alleged racial discrimination and harassment by a California regulator which claims the electric carmaker operates “a racially segregated workplace”.

The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) said it had received “hundreds of complaints” from workers at the Fremont factory.

Tesla called the lawsuit “misguided”.

It said it “strongly opposes all forms of discrimination and harassment” and will ask the court to pause the case.
