As Tesla's first car, the Model S, was rolling out of the company's Fremont, California factory, e-mails reveal that the company was still grappling with a design flaw that could lead to leaks inside the battery.
The part was tested by third party companies twice. First, a few cooling coils were sent to a test lab called IMR Test Labs in upstate New York in July of 2012. According to the IMR report, which was reviewed by Business Insider, the end fittings on the cooling coils did not meet chemical requirements for a regulation strength aluminum alloy. A source close to the matter said the results were shared with Tesla, but the Model S cars kept rolling out of the factory.
Tesla continued to find leaking coils in various stages of production through the end of 2012, according to documents reviewed by Business Insider. Some were found late enough on the production line to be described as a "critical quality issue," or were found to have leaked liquid into the battery pack, according to internal emails sent in October 2012, which were viewed by Business Insider. At this point the problem had been flagged for senior management, documents indicate.

So he knew the battery had safety issues and could injure or kill someone but he kept it secret. Guess I'm not surprised, he seems like a narcissistic knob.
