On On the same day Tesla CEO Elon Musk told his employees that they needed to increase production as much as possible for the rest of the year, the company said purposefully. Sent an email Informing its employees at the California factory that it is shutting down its Model S and Model X production lines on December 24th for 18 days. Talk about mixed gestures.
According to one CNBC report Published on Saturday, Tesla offered employees working in those production lines a full week’s pay and a few days’ paid vacation time. Even though employees were told to take five unplanned and unpaid days off, an email reviewed by the outlet stated that there would be “limited pay opportunities” for workers to support other parts of the factory.
It must be said: we are living through an epidemic, a Millions of times in which Their salaries have been reduced or their hours have been reduced. Tesla himself Reduced wages For salaried workers in the early months of the epidemic, from April to June, and some hourly workers were put on unpaid leave.
So, if unfortunate, it is unfortunate that the product is affected by the epidemic, it is understandable, if indeed this is the case. Tesla, for some reason, is a CNBC. Accordingly, employees in his declaration do not accept the reality of what we are living. Instead, he said he wants workers to take the “opportunity” to relax and spend more time with their families.
CNBC Translated by, the email states, “We want you to take the opportunity to refresh or spend time with your family, so Tesla will pay you a full week’s pay for the week of January 4th.” “You will also have limited payment opportunities to support another shop or volunteer for delivery during this time.”
G / O media can get commission
Speak now what? If true, it is a confusing way of explaining the production hult. Gizmodo arrived in Tesla on Sunday to confirm the CNBC report. We’ll be sure to update this blog if we get any feedback. It should be noted that we are not sure if we will get a response from the company Dissolved his PR team In October.
As you can see from all the emails, not all product manufacturing mentioned by Tesla stops: it also said that workers can be “volunteers” to deliver vehicles. Now, there is nothing wrong with paying for opportunities to deliver vehicles to your workers, especially if the factory is facing a shortage of demand, but this is another thing to expect your workers to deliver vehicles without pay. It’s not clear whether these opportunities are paid for, and that’s a question we asked Tesla on Sunday.
Even more surprising to this production decision is that on the same day, Kasturi sent an email to all employees asking them to increase production for the remaining amount of the quarter as much as possible.
“We are fortunate that the problem of the upper class of demand is slightly higher than the production of this quarter,” Musk wrote. “To ensure that we have excellent customer results and earn the trust of customers and investors who have earned trust and hard work with them, we need to increase production for the rest of the quarter as much as possible. If this note is really important I can only send it. “
CNBC estimates that the shutdown of the Model S and Model X production lines indicates that the high-demand Musk reference does not apply to these cars. He noticed recently About 50,000 China Recall of Model S and Model X cars in China over potentially defective and unsafe front and rear suspensions in October, as well as warranty extensions and repair refunds for older models of both vehicles Major computer problems In November.
In the end, the car has a problem. It’s no secret. We are living out of trying time. It’s no secret. Sometimes the demand for certain cars decreases. Whatever the reason for the stoppage of production, it is better to be clear about it, or at least not to pretend that everything is going well and that workers will spend more time with their families during the holidays.
Produced by Tesla 145,036 cars During the third quarter, 16,992 were Model S and Model X vehicles. It produced 128,044 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
