Multiple reports say organized criminal groups repeatedly steal Tesla battery shipments directly from the company’s Nevada Gigafactory. According to the cited investigations, thieves use forged credentials to access loading docks and remove battery shipments valued at millions of dollars. The problem is described as a supply-chain vulnerability because theft occurs at the source, before batteries reach downstream logistics and customers. One outlet reports that tighter security measures are put in place following the investigation and that some arrests have been made. While the reporting indicates that the thefts are reduced after security changes, it also states that the incidents have not been fully stopped. The coverage focuses on the operational impact of theft on Tesla’s logistics and the broader risk that similar weaknesses in industrial supply chains could be exploited by organized groups. The reports do not present evidence of a broader systemic failure beyond the theft attempts at the Nevada facility, but they characterize the incidents as recurring enough to prompt ongoing security upgrades.
