Less understandable is why journalists think it's okay to break into the facility. Last week, two Reno Gazette Journal employees were arrested outside the Gigafactory after an altercation with Tesla employees. Tesla says the journalists jumped the factory's fence, were approached by security, and got back into their cars. They then allegedly ran into a Tesla security guard and hit an ATV carrying two Tesla employees before ultimately being arrested by the local sheriff's department.

Here's how Tesla described the incident in a blog post published Tuesday:

"The two RGJ employees and the Tesla employee were then met at the Jeep by a second safety manager at the Gigafactory.

 The two Gigafactory safety managers asked the RGJ employees to wait before departing, as security management and the Sheriff's Department were en route to the scene. Disregarding this request, the RGJ employees entered the Jeep. As the Tesla employee attempted to record the license plate number on the rear bumper, the driver put it in reverse and accelerated into the Tesla employee, knocking him over, causing him to sustain a blow to the left hip, an approximate 2" bleeding laceration to his right forearm, a 3" bleeding laceration to his upper arm, and scrapes on both palms.
