Tesla employees have been sending each other videos captured on the cameras of other people’s electric cars for years. So they happened to look at accidents, customer garages and even nudes. Employees themselves spoke about their entertainment at work in an interview with Reuters. According to them, they shared videos and photos from the cameras of electric vehicles with each other from 2019 to 2022 through an internal messaging system. They were interested in completely different content: from accidents and incidents on the roads to funny signs or even dogs caught in the lens. However, there were exceptions. So, the hero of one of the videos was a completely naked man, and in another, an electric car knocked down a child on a bicycle at high speed. @banksta
