Tesla says four former workers forwarded confidential documents from their work email accounts to personal addresses.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in the US district court for Northern California, Tesla said the theft helped Zoox"leapfrog past years of work needed to develop and run its own warehousing, logistics, and inventory control operations.
"As a condition of their employment, all of the Individual Defendants agreed to maintain the confidentiality of Tesla's information and to avoid poaching Tesla's employees within one year of their departure," the lawsuit says. According to court documents, Turner forwarded internal inventory documents and other company schematics from his Tesla email to a personal address with the note"you sly dog" about one month before resigning. On the same day, Tesla alleges, he sent more confidential documents with the note"ooooh man... so much time and effort. Loved every second of it though."
Dement, a former Tesla warehouse supervisor, also forwarded documents to his personal email address, Tesla claims, with the subject line"good stuff.
