The electric car company took ownership of the factory in 2010 and the plant currently manufactures the Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y. Other previous incidents at the plant involved an accident in November 2013 when a low-pressure aluminum casting press failed and spilled molten metal on three workers, causing their clothing to catch fire. Tesla was fined $89,000 by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health for several safety violations. On April 1, 2019, a settlement by the company was reached with the United States Environmental Protection Agency over the alleged mishandling of hazardous waste in 2017. The EPA claims that Tesla allowed hazardous waste to accumulate on-site without a permit beyond 90 days. Two 55-gallon containers of hazardous waste were left open, violating air emission standards. Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk has yet to make a statement on the incident.
