Tesla is now taking firm action against employees leaking images and videos of the Cybertruck. A leaked internal email, posted on Twitter, has revealed that the company is warning employees and contractors of immediate “site removal” if caught filming inside Gigafactory Texas.

The measures are not unprecedented, as protecting proprietary information is a common practice among corporations. However, it does signal the lengths to which companies like Tesla are willing to go to protect their innovations.
The leaked email reportedly stated the possibility of issuing photo passes or stickers to appropriate personnel in the future, a measure to balance security concerns with business needs.
In the past months, there have been numerous leaks from the factory, providing enthusiasts with insights into the progress of the Cybertruck’s production. With production expected to start later this year and the first handover event possibly happening towards the end of Q3 2023, it appears that Tesla is tightening its control over information flow.
These measures raise important questions about the balance between employees’ rights and corporate security. At least one ruling by the National Labor Relations Board has upheld employers’ restrictions on cell phone usage on premises in specific sections, a sign of the broader acceptance of such practices.
The Cybertruck, with 1.9 million reservations and anticipated to have a significant impact on Tesla’s brand, is undoubtedly a critical project for the company. As it moves closer to production, the focus on security is likely to remain a prominent aspect of its development.
