Tesla is suing an alleged saboteur who it says stole intellectual property and leaked phony information to the media in an effort to harm the company.

特斯拉正在起诉一个所谓的破坏者，声称他偷走了知识产权，向媒体泄露了虚假信息，以伤害公司。

CEO Elon Musk sent a letter to staff on Sunday to report that a disgruntled employee had "conducted quite extensive and damoging sabotage" to the company and ask everyone to be vigilant and to report anything suspicious.

首席执行官埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)星期天致函员工，称心怀不满的雇员“进行了相当广泛的破坏”，并要求大家保持警惕，举报任何可疑情况。

A federal lawsuit filed in Nevada accuses Martin Tripp, who was an employee at the company's 'Gigafactory' near Reno, of hacking the automaker's Manufacturing Operating System. It says he transferred data and photographs to outside parties and installed software onto the computers of three other employees that would continue exporting information if he left the company while implicating his co-workers.

在内华达州提起的联邦诉讼，指控马丁·特里普(Martin Tripp)，他是雷诺附近的“吉加工厂”的员工，被控告对汽车制造商的制造业务系统进行了攻击。报导说，他将数据和照片传送给外部各方，并在其他三名雇员的计算机上安装软件。如果他离开公司，他们将继续输出信息，同时牵涉到同事的工作。

The lawsuit says Tripp also falsely told media outlets that the company was installing damaged battery packs into some of its Model 3 sedans and generating an unusually large amount of scrap material during production. The latter item was first reported by Business Insider, which was not named in the lawsuit.

诉讼称，特里普还错误地告诉媒体，该公司正在将损坏的电池包装装入它的一些Model3轿车，并在生产过程中生成数量异常巨大的废料材料。后一项报销首先由“商业内幕”举报，该公司在诉讼中未予命名。

Tesla says Tripp started working for the company in October 2017 as a process technician and later complained that the role  "wasn't senior enough"  for him. He was assigned to a different position on May 17, 2018, after his managers said he was having issues with his co-workers, according to the lawsuit.

特斯拉说，特里普于2017年10月开始为公司做流程技术员，后来抱怨说，他的角色“不够高”。2018年5月17日，他被分配到一个不同的位置，因为他的经理表示，根据诉讼程序，他与同事存在问题。

The company claims it then discovered the alleged security breaches and interviewed Trapp on June 14 and again on June 15, when it says that he admitted to the hack.

该公司称，后来发现了所谓的安全漏洞，并于6月14日和6月15日再次采访了特里普，当时该公司说自己承认了这次攻击。

Tesla is asking the court for compensatory, punitive and exemplary damages. Tripp has not yet commented on the lawsuit.

特斯拉要求法庭赔偿赔偿、惩罚和惩戒性损失，特里普尚未对诉讼作出评论。

How many more? ~39 more? Should we anticipate more lawsuits to come?

还有多少人？~39人？我们预计还会有诉讼吗？

Speaking of the sabatoge, Musk tweeted on Wednesday: "There is more, but the actions of a few bad apples will not stop Tesla from reaching its goals. With 40,000 people, the worst 1 in 1000 will have issues. That's still ~40 people."

马斯克在周三发表讲话说：“还有更多，但是少数坏苹果的行为不会阻止特斯拉达到目标。
