Carmaker Tesla has been ordered to pay almost $137m (£101m) in damages for failing to stop a black former worker at its Fremont plant from being abused.
Owen Diaz, a lift operator from 2015 to 2016, was subjected to a racially hostile work environment, a federal court in San Francisco found.
Mr Diaz claimed black workers regularly faced racist slurs on the factory floor and racist graffiti in bathrooms.
Tesla disputed the verdict but said it recognised it was “not perfect”.
