Unless I missed it, the article seems to leave out details.

According to previous articles, she seemingly accused Tesla of corruption by placing orders to suppliers based on friendship more than quality and price. The safety issue of mats sliding was just one part of the complaints.

The article also states that Tesla never provided any details about her secret personal project, but in previous articles it was said to be her project with "a way to replace flip-down sun visors with touch-based windshield-dimming technology". This included a paid trip to New York which Tesla supposedly claim wasn't approved.

I'm not saying it makes a difference but especially the second part seems strange to leave out when the whole legal battle seems to center around it.

That honestly sounds like a typical corporate smear attempt - vague, hard to (dis)prove accusations with no proof whatsoever presented.

Tesla/Elon have a track report of egregiously lying when it comes to whistleblowers or people they don't like. That includes an obviously fake shooter threat that could have killed one whistleblower [0] and Elon very publicly accusing an innocent man of being a pedophile.

I'm going to side with the whistleblower until proven otherwise.
