(San Francisco, CA) -- A new lawsuit is accusing Tesla of racial abuse against Black employees.

A group of 15 current and former employees filed a lawsuit against the electric car company on Thursday, claiming they were harassed and subjected to racial abuse at Tesla's factory in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The suit alleges the workers were regularly subjected to racist comments by coworkers, managers, and human resources employees at the factory in Fremont, California. Tesla is currently facing ten lawsuits alleging either racial discrimination or sexual harassment.
