Tesla robot ATTACKS an engineer at company’s Texas factory during violent malfunction – leaving ‘trail of blood’ and forcing workers to hit emergency shutdown button
A Tesla engineer was attacked by a robot during a brutal and bloody malfunction at the company’s Giga Texas factory near Austin.
Two witnesses watched in horror as their fellow employee was attacked by the machine designed to grab and move freshly cast aluminum car parts.
The robot had pinned the man, who was then programming software for two disabled Tesla robots nearby, before sinking its metal claws into the worker’s back and arm, leaving a ‘trail of blood’ along the factory surface.
So this will be the first manufacturing plant in history with union contract shop rules about killer robots.
Reports of increased injuries due to robotic coworkers at Amazon shipment centers, killer droid-surgeons, self-driving cars, and even violence from robotic chess instructors, have led some to question speedy integration of the new tech.
The injury report, which Tesla must submit to authorities by law to maintain its lucrative tax breaks in Texas, claimed the engineer did not require time off of work.
But one attorney who represents Tesla’s Giga Texas contract workers has told DailyMail.com she believes, based on her conversations with workers there, that the number of injuries suffered at the factory is going underreported.

I remember the Big Wheel well. Man, they made some great breakfast food. Loved that place.
I’ve never been in a Cracker Barrel either. It simply never occurred to me to go. I’ve eaten in an Applebee’s twice in my entire life. We ate at the Texas Roadhouse twice this year only because we somehow ended up with gift cards to the place. I am not a chain restaurant or fast food joint consumer. We will… Read more »
Now you have me recalling the Big Wheel in Oak Hill.
Best and most interesting breakfast in Texas on Sunday mornings was Cisco’s in East Austin. Juevos rancheros, Mexican style fried potatoes with freshly made, hot tortillas. The best thing was the Bloody Marys were free until 12 noon because it was illegal to sell them.

Somehow I escaped every single Cracker Barrel marketing attempt to reach me.
F’n weird.
For all I knew, Cracker Barrel was franchise curio shop from South Carolina.
Like I told GJT a few years ago, I have never been in a Cracker Barrel. I didn’t even realize until a few years ago that they were a restaurant. Perhaps because no one I have ever known mentioned eating at a Cracker Barrel. Scary to consider that there may be thousands of restaurants out there that I have never… Read more »
The Star of Texas was good in Falfurrias sadly they are closed now.
IHOP is for emergencies only. Cracker Barrel is a no go except when the stove blows up,my brother is gone next door, the lights are off in Conroe.. I got stood up in 3 different stores in one year. Got my tea but no waitress to take my order. I am not a fan but BSue likes them.
The best Mexican breakfast ever had was in Falfurrias. The “Side Door” cafe on the main square was where I ate for 3 months. I ate everything on the menu but breakfast was the best. authentic Mexican no TexMex.
And IHOP is kinda like Red Lobster….No matter what you order, it all tastes the same. What a racket.
The success of obscure, authentic taco trailers isn’t hard to understand.
It’s just hard to find them when you’re traveling and in a hurry.
But then, for decades, all of our Texas coastal excursions were romantic.
I’ll never forget finding the outstanding Mexican breakfast place on Galveston Island that only the locals knew about. I read about it online about 2 years prior and had saved the info. It topped off a very romantic weekend down there. Alhough Fay wasn’t too happy that her juevos rancheros had a virtually raw egg placed on top. I helped… Read more »

Now see we can agree on something. I loathe Dennys
Just so you know, I wouldn’t eat at a Denny’s if you paid the tab and also gave me a nice, crisp $100 bill.
Never again. Never.
Like Rush, I live in Realville.
I don’t expect a pound of hash browns, three sausage patties, five slices of bacon, three eggs, toast and biscuits for $2.99 anymore.
Just grateful to find quality food and coffee without roaches at 2 in the morning.
🙂
I saw that on Watter’s show and it’s kind of scary to think that the lunatics would target Republicans not caring if anyone including the cops were hurt or killed.

The Waffle House here in Conroe stinks. I do not like the menu. Small medium or large hash browns? What the heck is that. Bacon or large bacon, Sausage or large sausage, city ham or country ham? The place is a ripoff. You can have all the Waffle house you want.

I still haven’t seen “Cabrini,” but it’s on my list. I hadn’t been to the cinema in years, and the Angel Studios started coming out with stuff that I was willing to spend money on.

And I was probably the scariest-looking of the clientele.
The last time I was at the Waffle House at Hwy 6 and I-10, that ancient location was spotless, the food was excellent, the service was even better, the coffee was perfect.
It was 2am and I was on my way home from one of the damn hospitals in Houston.

#28 SD: I am outraged, but not surprised at all. Unless and until a couple of hundred heads of politicians and bureaucrats responsible for this looting of the public treasury are placed upon a platter, this crap will continue.

Kathy’s Korner is a Travel Center with a restaurant on I-10 on the west side of the Brazos River.

But I never noticed until this week that on the farthest west side of their huge parking lot are 16 EV charging stations, all emblazoned with the Tesla logo.

Squawk I got tired of diner food up because a lot of it is mediocre and diners are no longer a cheap place to eat.
