Tesla Settles Racial Discrimination Lawsuit with Former Employee

The settlement ends a series of appeals following a jury verdict awarding Owen Diaz $3.2 million in damages for racial harassment at Tesla's Fremont factory.

Tesla and former employee Owen Diaz have reached a final settlement in a racial discrimination lawsuit, ending ongoing appeals.
The lawsuit highlighted allegations of a racist culture at Tesla's Fremont, California factory, where Diaz was subjected to racial slurs and other abuses.
Originally awarded $137 million in 2021, the damages were reduced to $3.2 million in a subsequent trial, prompting appeals from both sides.
The terms of the settlement are confidential, with both parties agreeing to resolve all claims amicably.
Tesla faces additional discrimination lawsuits and criticism over its workplace culture, including a class action lawsuit and complaints from state and federal agencies.
