The head of the Tesla plant came under investigation for misappropriating “special” glass

Omid Afshar, the Tesla executive tasked with overseeing operations at the company's Texas plant,

according to Bloomberg, has become the target of an internalinvestigation into a glass purchase that was considered “suspicious”. Sources close to the situation told the publication that Afshar will likely go on vacation before Tesla fires him. Discuss

Afshar reportedly placed an order for"special" a type of glass that is not easily procured given supply chain constraints, and told employees it was for a "secret project." According to Bloomberg, Tesla's finance department flagged the glass purchase earlier this year, prompting an internal investigation led by David Searle, Tesla's acting head of legal.

While investigators are still unsure if the glass was for personal use, Bloomberg notes that some employees involved in the incident have already been fired.
