'Seven a.m.
What the hell is going on?
The ringing turns into pounding.
Halfway to the door, he hesitates, moves to the window, peers out.
His stomach drops.
Tesla has found him.'

When an anonymous whistleblower and ex-Tesla employee approached the German business newspaper Handelsblatt in November 2022, its newsroom was stunned.

The allegations were astounding, offering an unprecedented glimpse inside the world’s most secretive and impenetrable automaker.

So began a relentless pursuit for truth in an investigation to piece together the inner workings of Musk’s empire. What emerged was a company that values hype over substance; at its heart a CEO who demands devotion and rules through fear.

A riveting behind-the-scenes chronicle of fearless investigative journalism and an astonishing exposé of what lies under the bonnet of the world’s most famous car company, The Tesla Files is the story of what happens when the line between tech empire and political power blurs, and the gripping account of what it takes to challenge the richest man in the world.
