That’s a weird way of bragging about understaffing leading to overwork, but I guess it explains why they can’t kick those quality issues.

Spoiler: it won't be $25,000.

Because fuck family time ... This dude wants slaves. He can get fucked

Lots of interesting articles and research talking about the problem of many CEOs exhibiting psychopathic traits but it being accepted. For example.

“Our culture also glorifies and rewards successful leaders who may lie somewhere on the spectrum of psychopathy or who, if not actually psychopathic, nevertheless display traits that psychopathic individuals frequently have. The problem, of course, is that while psychopaths may have a lot of charisma and creativity, they may also lack, as already mentioned, socially important qualities such as empathy and morality.”

Damn, he's admitting his company is so close to collapse that everyone will have to literally sleep on the floor there just to try to save the business?

Bold move.

Man i don't wanna buy a car made by people who aren't sleeping in a bed. Come on, now.

Saying we expect our employees to act as slaves, weird flex there Space Karen.

Wasn't the model 3 supposed to be the affordable version

Sounds like a shitty boss. Also, I think OHSA is gonna have a field day with this.

But they don’t need a union

Anyone qualified to work on his production line can work on another. Or many many other mechanical/production roles.

I question anyone who would work those hours, sleep in the facility, accept the oats, and still whine.

Tesla already has the highest accident risk, are they trying to increase their lead?

Welp. It's time for Tesla workers to unionize, and hard

Who is this message even for? Not the workers obviously. Does it instill the investors with confidence? "Production is so poorly managed and staffed that we have to rely on people working overtime." Does it increase demand? "Come buy these vehicles assembled by overworked, sleep-deprived line workers, hope it works out if you get in an wreck!" It's entirely for his own ego.

This guy probably thinks he's doing his employees a favor by paying them for the work they perform for him

This is why the simple existence of billionaires is violence. You simply cannot become filthy rich without profiting off of the suffering of others. This motherfucker could pay people enough to never have to even consider sleeping on a factory floor. Hell, he could probably double his workforce and still pay that well and be filthy rich.

Delivered 4 - 8 years later, $25,000 more, 50 mile range, no screen and a radio tuned only to a station where his favorite coward of the moment reads their abhorent tweets

UAW

There are rumors that it could come without a steering wheel or any pedals to lower costs

Ehm what? Full self driving (and self crashing)??

I sure want to pay too much money for an unreliable potential fireball built by exhausted workers for a rich puppet that's been portrayed as a genius by a controlled main stream media owned by corporations and governments that use said puppet to build and fund tech used by the military to murder strangers around the world.

Articles that start with "Elon Musk says..." 😄

This category of articles is getting more and more hilarious recently.

"We really need the engineers to be living on the line. This is not sort of an off-the-shelf 'it just works' type of thing," Musk said. "That will be a challenging production ramp […] we'll be sleeping on the line, practically. Not practically, we will be," he added.

Man, can this guy rally the troops or what? With sentiment like this, who needs a pep rally or company retreat? /s

Worst. Boss. Ever.

He does know he can just hire more people and have them work shifts, right?

i saw a tesla truck today for the first time and it looked stupid. its seriously like something from a 90s 3d tank game

There's a concept of paid slaves.

Ya take 16 tons, whaddya get?

Like Musk is going to let his employees sleep...
