The second day of Tesla's racial bias trial included testimony from a former worker who said he found feces on a factory cart

Wheeler was one of a handful of former Tesla workers that testified on Tuesday regarding their experience as Black workers at Tesla's Fremont factory.

The ex-contractor said he reported the incident to Tesla, but to his knowledge the issue was never addressed. Wheeler added that he also asked for footage of the incident, as he believed it was likely the factory would have some of its surveillance cameras in that area. He said he was told by supervisors that there were no cameras in the area.

"The parties are stuck with the decisions they made prior to and at the first trial that resulted in the evidence that was presented at the first trial," Judge William Orrick said, according to Law360.In an email from Wheeler to several Tesla supervisors, the ex-contractor said he believed the incident was"a possible hate crime," according to an exhibit from the trial that was submitted on Tuesday.
