A new investigative documentary titled Tesla Files is set to pull back the curtain on Elon Musk’s electric‑vehicle empire. Announced at the CPH:DOX festival in Copenhagen, the film draws on more than 100 GB of leaked internal data allegedly supplied by whistle‑blower Łukasz Krupski.
Directed by Danish filmmaker Anders Østergaard, the project will explore Tesla’s labor practices, Autopilot safety concerns and the company’s aggressive push toward full self‑driving technology.
What’s in the leak?
The cache reportedly contains thousands of emails, accident reports and employee testimonies dating from 2015 to 2023. Journalists at Handelsblatt first revealed portions of the data last year, prompting investigations by European regulators.
A work‑in‑progress screening
Festival organizers screened an early cut of Tesla Files on 25 March 2025, with Østergaard noting that additional interviews and legal reviews are still underway. Producers aim to lock the final edit by late summer and are in talks with major streaming platforms for global distribution.
Tesla’s response
Tesla has previously dismissed the leaked documents as “misleading” and vowed to pursue legal action against those responsible for the breach. The company has not yet commented on the documentary.
If the film lands a wide release later this year, it could become the most comprehensive on‑screen examination of Musk’s flagship company to date.
